Many of us get a sense of warm nostalgia when it comes to the PSP. Released in 2004, this portable console was a real breakthrough for its time. It introduced us to the possibility of enjoying full-fledged game projects on the go. It was incredibly groundbreaking at the time. As if you had a little piece of home console in your pocket.

    I found the only reason I was attracted to the psp was because of the ease of cracking it. For about $60 you could get a magic battery and a j-stick. That let you go rent a game rip it and throw it onto a hard drive. Boot the game straight from the memory card which was surprisingly not a Sony proprietary card but a regular micro SD. Same reason I still have my third gen Kindle. I can download all the books for free.

        I have a D01100 its a gen4 (my mistake). I just plug it into my computer or phone and transfer an epub right onto it. I never hooked it to an account. I even have a program to convert Manga but it’s been awhile since I did that and I honestly can’t even remember the name of the program or how it works. Had this thing since 07 so…

        I google the book I want to read with “epub”, download the file, plug my phone directly into my Kindle and use the file system just like I used to on a PC. Never really had to do much more than that.

        I’m not really sure. I’m fairly sure the fire is locked down to not let you do this kind of stuff but I have two gen4 and have never bought another.
