As soon as I saw the logo the theme song played in my head.

I've found the quality on Gutenberg varies massively - since an epub is basically a zipped html file, I've had plenty that are just barely-converted text files, with problems like incorrect character encoding and that everything's one big chapter.

Maybe! I checked the Amazon update page and it looks like older models aren't getting the update. Lucky you.

Unfortunately, just before that video aired Amazon broke jailbreaking with their 5.18.1 update (both for existing and new jailbreakers). WinterBreak is broken. Hopefully it can be worked around, but my guess will be that it's not going to be possible again.

I'm going to get a Kobo Clara BW and use Koreader on there.

My criticism would be that there's no cuticle, but if it's 100% realism you're after then I guess that's not top of the list...

It was a Flash animation originally. Many of his animations looped, but some of them had the issue that the sound and imagery weren't exactly the same length, so would go out of sync as it repeated.

edit: Here's the original hosted on the Internet Archive, running on the Ruffle emulator: https://archive.org/details/flash_badger

I've researched this and I'll be buying a Kobo once my Kindle finally dies (it's lived a hard life). I've bought DRMed books from some non-Amazon sources and had to go through the steps to strip their DRM so I could read them on the Kindle - this was using Calibre. Mostly those other sources were using Adobe Digital Editions (DeDRM can handle it).

I have yet to find if there's a self-hosted option that would replicate what Amazon does - i.e. tracks read position and lets you download and read via an Android app or a website. I do have Calibre-web set up, but haven't fully looked into what it can do yet.

Wow, the quality of those "drawings" is amazing. I'm guessing these don't get published five times a week.

I'm glad they asked, because now the answer is here for all of us without each having to research the answer.

I used to think typos meant that the author (and/or editor) hadn't checked what they wrote, so the article was likely poor quality and less trustworthy. Now I'm reassured that it's a human behind it and not a glorified word-prediction algorithm.
