Sooo...it's actually NOT true that people with a Voyage can't modify anything on their devices. There's also another person reporting that they were able to install alternative fonts onto a device with a firmware version higher than 5.6.1, but so far no details or confirmation.

Amazon has a history of removing those sorts of hacks that do not require jailbreaking. So I expect that someday that font size hack will be going away.

Also, you can keep your jailbreak if you update to 5.6.x with the jailbreak in place. But without the jailbreak in place if you update, you cannot jailbreak.

What really surprises me is that nobody has make an alternate firmware for Kindles where you don't need to jailbreak and you have all the features many people want.
