You can now jailbreak any Kindle. But is it worth it? – Antyweb

Jailbreak, or compromise and get a full, unrestricted access even to the device, is popular mainly among advanced users. And it is hardly surprising, because it is unauthorized interference with the software, which can have serious consequences – even in the form of damage to our equipment. Many people are not discouraged, so eager to unlock your readers. The benefits of this are relatively big. We can upload software alternative, implement new features, modify the fonts, screen savers, and even install spolszczony interface. At the same time it is just the tip of the iceberg. Jailbreak gives us almost unlimited freedom.

A new method of “breaking” Kindle readers has been posted on the forum mobileread.com. In this way, we break the device 6th, 7th and 8th generation: Paperwhite 2, 3 Paperwhite, Touch 2, Voyage and Oasis. The whole consists of uploading the software factory in the older version, and then made the jailbreak. At first glance, the process does not seem to be particularly complex, although several stages problems can occur. The key is choosing the right software, as well as the maximum concentration. If you have previously had a rootowanie in smartphones with Android and unlocking bootloaders, we should not have any problems. If, however, we never had to deal with it – better myself odpuśćmy. The process is described in detail on the aforementioned board. There also find links to all the necessary files to jailbreak. Comments and discussion below suggests, it is a sure and proven method.

And here the main question – is it worth? Theoretically jailbreak is nothing new. People break their Kindle for years and no one does this big problem (and because the scale of this practice is small). However, while I understand rootowanie smartphone, you unlock the bootloader, it’s hard to convince me in any way to jailbreak reader e-books. For reasons smartphone is a million: alternative ROMs, newer versions of Android, faster performance, the mass of new features, access to the vast number of tools and modifications etc. holder zrootowanego smartphone can really more. Kindle after the jailbreak did not start but suddenly play movies, because why? Ebook reader, as the name suggests, read electronic books, and if he does it well, do not see the point “improve” it. Of course some room to maneuver is. Readers Amazon does not support EPUB, have polonized interface and probably will be a few gaps. But worth it for this (and a few new screen savers) to play in the changes? Decide for yourself.
