Just verifying lack of options... And other questions

Amazon was kind enough to replace my Kindle Keyboard that had a damaged screen with a Paperwhite 2 (awesome customer service Amazon!!!) but it came with 5.6.2.1 firmware.

This means, from all my research, that I can not jailbreak/root the PW2, correct?

This also means I have no way of managing the books I have in Calibre on my paperwhite other than through the basic Collections software that Amazon provides, correct?

If I am incorrect, can someone please tell me how I can better manage my collections? I have thousands of books, hundreds of various series, all properly organized in calibre. I'd rather not have to create new collections on the kindle if I can avoid it. (Side note: what is best practice for keeping books in a series in order on a kindle? My Brian Lumley folder has them all by book title. Should I have the sorting name set to something like SERIES - ## - BOOK TITLE?)

Also, is there a way to give collection sets a better icon? Like different icons for Dresden Files, Valdemar, Xanth, Star Wars, etc?

Thank you for your time.
