Hi,

I just got a Kindle Paperwhite 2 Touch (Wifi only). I bought it off of ebay from the USA, and it was shipped to where I live (Canada). I have a few questions.

Serial number: 90D4
Firmware version: 5.4.2.1

First question: I'm confused as to whether or not my Kindle is still jailbroken or not. I followed the instructions correctly.
When I exit out of the settings screen (example, when I go into the home menu), and go back into the settings screen, the **jailbreak** is gone. I can click on 'update your kindle', but it doesn't do anything. Is my Kindle still Jailbroken? I'm confused, this is my first Kindle and my first time Jailbreaking anything.

Second question: if it is still Jailbroken, how can I remove the ads? Is there an app I have to download that will do that? Which one?

Third: How do I add a custom screensaver?

Fourth question: How do I sort my books into categories (example: by series). I formatted them correctly and set their metadata correctly using Calibre, then imported them on my Kindle using Calibre, but my kindle shows them as one jumble. I know I can sort them by title and author, but the 'sort by: collections' is greyed out.

Do I have to download an app that will sort them? If so, which one do you recommend?

Thank you in advance for your help!
