How about a few words to say what effect the X will have - or maybe make the box contents a choice between N (for no) and Y (for yes) to flash the partition?

Hmmm... I don't think I can easily change the display behavior - but IMHO, [X] for checked and [ ] for "unchecked" should be pretty universally understood.

If it went through without errors, it worked.

More specifically: you will be able to install packages published on this site if - and only if - the jailbreak is installed.

I've tried loading the collections manager and get an error message that tells me my Kindle is not approved as a development device. And I think I've done all the steps in the 'collections' thread - but I did get an error from the update, which said 'Kindle update not successful, error code 03' (at least, I think from memory that's what it said).

All help will be most welcome!

You didn't install the update.bin correctly. Welcome to the club of people who don't read instructions... SCNR . The correct way of installing update*.bin files is repeated in every single README file contained in the downloads, and it's been repeated hundreds of times here in the forum. Here's the 101st time: Don't restart the Kindle from the settings menu, but update it.

There is a reason why README files are called README.
