Kindle Paperwhite Forensics

Hello Everyone,

I've been searching the web and this forum for some info on this, but haven't been able to find it anywhere! It seems like research in this area is pretty scarse, but maybe y'all can help me.

I'm an advanced IT sudent in the University, and I'm currently in a Mobile Forensics Class. I chose to do my 10+ page research paper on Kindle Forensics (mainly for two reasons: 1-Not a lot of research has been done in this fields, and 2-I really wanted to buy a Kindle paperwhite!)

All things aside, I have access to a lot of professional forensic software (through the school) and of course my kindle.

My main research questions are:

Does “jailbreaking” the paperwhite give access to necessary (or additional) parts of the filesystem?

Are there any artefacts from library books I have “checked out” but are now expired? How does Amazon deal with “removing” those books? (Including screenshots and explainations as to how this process works)

Does the kindle store all the wifi networks it connects to and locations/IPs? If so, where and how?


ANY help that anyone could give on this would be great. Thanks!
