Hi all. Relative noob... However...
I have a Kindle Voyage I rooted in 2017 as I really wanted my own screensaver pictures. It is running 5.8.8, Serial # B013 .... etc, and I used the "update.bin.tmp.partial" folder to successfully block updates. (The option "Update Your Kindle" is greyed out.)
Everything is fine, wi-fi send-to-kindle and whispersync work with no problems.
Then I got an email from Amazon about epub support, so I came back to the forums to see what was happening, only to run into horror stories about a new intrusive interface which sounds like something I definitely do not want.
So my questions are - by staying with 5.8.8, what am I missing out on? If I update, do I need to re-root? The ability to use my own screensaver pictures is a non-negotiable for me.
Thanks for any advice!
My other Kindle is a DXG, also rooted so I can run my own screensaver pics. It has version 2.5.8, which I think is the most recent available.
