Google it, but if you’ve got ebooks on a hard drive somewhere, you can easily transfer them to a kindle, no further purchases required.

Sideloading ebooks is not the same thing as running alternative FOSS software on a device.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. I don’t have the will to find out how to upload an alt OS to a kindle, but the Internet is vast and if ye seek, ye shall find.
