Bonjurkes,

My opinions:
a) there are ways to remove the ads. You got a bargain price by agreeing to receive the ads. Either live with them or learn enough to understand the processes required to remove them. And accept those risks.
b) backing up your documents and active.content folders can indeed save some effort if you have to do a 'Reset to Factory Defaults'. Or if Amazon decides you are so hosed that they send you a new one. You can get most of your stuff back from Archives but a USB copy and paste is faster. You still have to set up your Collections either way.
c) jailbreaking was originally worth it to me so that I could have Landscape view. That is now available in 5.1.0 except for web browsing, which is where I really want it. Jailbreak has not yet solved that. There are lots of other geeky capabilities it offers but they are not (yet) drop in solutions. Unless you really find following threads fascinating (I do), I suggest you wait on the Jailbreaking until someone offers something you cannot live without.
