I'm trying to jailbreak my kindle but I am a newb. Ideally, I'd like to get rid of the ad screensavers, and replace them with something else.

I was following these instructions: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kind...king#Jailbreak

and I got to step 6) Under the SSH? section and using terminal types in the "ssh root@192.168.15.244" command. and.. presto! Nothing happened. Except an error saying "ssh: connect to host 192.168.15.201 port 22: Connection refused"

The weird thing was that when I aborted the mission and restarted the kindle it gave me the "You are jailbroken" message. Which doesn't make sense, since I didn't actually login with a password or finish the process...

Can anyone help me out? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
