Hello internet!
I've just received a few days ago my first kindle ever. It's a KT2 and came with the FW version 5.6.1 (actually, I think it came with 5.6.0? does that exist? and it updated on its own). Thing is, as I've been reading here in the forums, there is no, as of yet, method for jailbreaking it without taking it apart. I'm not keen on that idea, at least until the warranty period is over. I mainly don't feel comfortable opening a device that is glued (I'm afraid I'll break the plastic parts).
So, my first question is: Is there any progress in jailbreaking this version of the FW?
And the second question, and main question of my post: Is it possible and/or worth it to install Duokan on this device?
The main reason I'm considering installing Duokan is for a better PDF reader (I want to use my kindle to read scientific papers and their format - mainly multi-column documents - is not confortable to read with the built-in PDF reader).
The main reason I'd consider jailbreaking it: To tinker with it. I'm a Linux user and I'm curious to as what can I do with a little Linux computer with an e-ink display... For instance, something cool (if it's already done, show it to me!) would be a graphing calculator running on the kindle.
Anyways,
Thanks for your help!
