So first I would like to apologize for being as thick-headed as I am. I promise that I have at least tried to read and understand the various mobileread threads and wiki pages related to the topic of "hacking" a kindle, but I still seem to not be able to grasp the bigger picture.
My problem:
I want to purchase one of the new "nicer" Kindle eReaders (either the latest Oasis or the Voyage) and then jailbreak it to enable extra functionality.
In particualar I would like to:
So I found that there ar in fact jailbreaks available for these devices, however it looks like they are connected to very specific firmware versions which my device may or may not ship with (?). Moreover some of the more "important"(?) kindle apps (like KUAL) seem to not be currently supported on these devices.
My Questions:
I hope I have been specific enough about what I would like to know! Anyways, I would appreciate any and all advice you kind people might throw my way! :thanks:

In particualar I would like to:
- install koreader to read .epub ebooks
- install kterm to hack arround with my device
- be able to install most of the different apps made by the community

My Questions:
- If I order a KV or KOA2 how likely is it that I'll get a version which I can jailbreak?
- If I then manage to jailbreak my device, what stuff will I be able to run on it? Will KUAL work? Will koreader work? Will kterm work?
