I'm tempted by the offer, but I'm wondering - are the improvements in the 2015 version worth the additional 40 euro?
Also, are they both jailbreakable? One of the reasons why I've been pondering switching to a Kindle from my old Cybook Opus is because of the impressive tinker factor.

I'm sorry no one replied in time but yes the improvements are worth the extra 40 euro.
The 2013 was a PW1 that had a uneven light and a 16 grey scale Pearl screen
The 2014 was a PW2 that had a creamier and much more even light, the screen name was Carta
The 2015 is a PW3, that has 300 ppi compared to the 212pp1 of the PW1 and PW2.
I think only the PW1 (maybe the PW2) is jailbreakable but i'm not sure as that depends on the software they are shipped with.
