I am aware that this might sound slightly insane, but I am strongly considering buying another replacement PW2. The reasons are that no one knows if it'll even be possible to jailbreak/downgrade devices after 5.4.2, and if it still is, then these "bugs" will with a very high probability be fixed in the new device generation, rumored to be somewhere in 2014.

Also the current device, at least on version 5.4.0, is ideal for me. The lighting is good, the design is nice, the feature set is relatively complete and as it seems the Collection Manager kindlet will soon work for that version too -- there's nothing else I really need.

The replacement of course would mostly be in case that the battery dies at some point (I know I could replace it manually if I wanted to), or the screen cracks/the device somehow breaks in any other way.

So what do you guys think about that idea?
