So, I managed to mess up the jailbreak on my Kindle Paperwhite, which I bought new from Amazon.com around this time last year. Basically, I turned on wifi for the first time in ages without checking to see if the jailbreak needed to be updated (I didn't have the version that comes with the KUAL thing), and Amazon updated it to 5.6.x. I tried the jailbreak recovery, but it didn't work. So I tried resetting the Kindle, naively thinking that might roll it back to the version it was shipped with, but it didn't, it just erased all my content, PLUS all the jailbreak files from the main directory... I have 0 technical skills, and just jailbreaking it the first time was a headache, so it seems like that was basically game over for me on that Kindle.
Which is why I'm considering giving it to a family member and just buying a new one, with a lower, jailbreakable firmware. All I really want the jailbreak for is to change the screensavers and customize the fonts, but it's really important to me - I really hate all the fonts the Kindle Paperwhite comes with, and the screensavers are all incredibly ugly. I also am not happy with the way the Paperwhite manages collections when I have wifi off, constantly notifying me that things won't be synced to their cloud service, which I don't care about at all. So if the Kindle Voyage handles that differently, I'd probably that one instead.
So my questions are, what firmware does a new Kindle Paperwhite or Voyage from Amazon ship with, or where might I find one (new) with a lower firmware, and does the Voyage handle fonts/screensavers/collections any differently from the Paperwhite?
Thanks!
