Have lurked around a lot and hopefully this post will get down to the straight answer for me and others like me without having to do a lot of forum scrubbing.
I have a Kindle PW3 (G090G1) with firmware version 5.9.2.0.1
From what I've been able to find on these forums is that there is No Way to software downgrade from firmware 5.9.2.0.1, or anything 5.8.8 and above, right now.

It is possible for anyone like me with any model Kindle on any firmware 5.8.8 and above (outside of the Oasis model) to use the Serial Port jailbreak method to force a firmware downgrade.
(This is also possible for anyone with a touchscreen model in the 5.x.y fw)

this requires skills and tools for soldering, taking apart the kindle, and installing a VM of Linux on my pc. As possible as it is, it's something I'd rather not do if I didn't have to.
Please correct me if any of the information i posted above was incorrect, but my questions regarding my situation are this:
1) Is it worth waiting for a software downgrade and jailbreak path to release for fw 5.9.2.0.1?
2) How possible is it that a software jailbreak path for this fw is going to be released any time soon?
3) Should I just give in, bite the bullet, and go for the serial port method in lieu of a possible software jailbreak for this fw not appearing soon?
