I want to be able to transfer books to Calibre from a Paperwhite 1 running FW 5.4.4.2. The device is not jailbroken.

Which files do I need to do this? kindle-jailbreak-xx.zip, USBNetwork-xx.zip, or both? (xx replaces actual version numbers) And which version(s)?

According to the thread titled "Kindle Touch/PaperWhite 5.0.x - 5.4.4.2 JailBreak. Plus K5/PW USBNetwork," v.1.4.N of the kindle-jailbreak zip file provides "Proper Paperwhite Support." But the only file that's attached to this thread is v. 1.14.N, which contains bridge files, which seem to be used for updating already jailbroken devices. As my paperwhite is not jailbroken, can I use v.1.14N? If not, where can I download v1.4.N?

Also, as I just want to transfer the books to Calibre, would using the USBNetwork file be all I need? And if so, what version for the paperwhite 1 and where can I find it?

Thanks for any help.
