I'm guessing that 5.6.0 is the latest FW? In that case, there is no point ordering a PW2 from Amazon because the PW2 will surely come with the latest FW wont it? I'm also unsure as to what you mean by cracking open. Does that literally mean opening up the physical device? This may be a noob question but what would that achieve? One final question: If we accept that JPBatch and CM are now basically unworkable on the PW2 which cannot be jailbroken with FW 5.6.0, and that the KV is also completely shut-down, should I just get a refurbed PW1, or go for a Kobo Aura?
