StorageTool

Storage management tool for jailbroken Kindle devices.

StorageTool helps Kindle users analyze, visualize, and manage their ebook collections. It provides information about your book storage usage and helps you identify large files, duplicates, and organize your library.

Your Kindle must be jailbroken before proceeding!
If it's not, follow this guide first.

Install kterm:

  1. Download the latest release from kterm's releases page
  2. Unzip the archive to the extensions directory in your Kindle's root

KOReader (Optional but Recommended):

  2. Unsure which version to get? Check the Installation Guide

Installation
