2) If yes: Since i'm using KUAL, JBPatch and custom screensavers - does this things still work?
Thanks alot!

The highest firmware for the PW1 (old) is 5.3.9....5.4.2 is the current firmware for the PW2 (new). I have upgraded to 5.3.9 mostly because I got sick of worrying about avoiding upgrades -- this had to do with the JBPatch hack which allows for hyphenations (which I feel is a must have) and is NOT supported past firmware 5.3.4 (I think that is as far as it goes). I converted my entire library to AZW3's and use the hyphenation plugin for Calibre instead of JBPatch. As far as I can tell, everything else works fine on 5.3.9 (KUAL, etc).
To answer your other question, I have found nothing of interest to me in the more current firmwares as opposed to 5.3.4.
