I was actually hoping to see the whole process of jailbreaking the paperwhite in a video. It makes things much more clear for me. There is a lot of information on this site, but a clearly laid out set of instructions on how, from beginning to end, to jailbreak a paperwhite would be very helpful.

I apologize if I cam across as trolling. I'm just slowly trying to understand this stuff.
We have several, (each slightly different) step-by-step "HowTo" posts here.
A video of someone pushing the keys to spell out the commands would not add any information.

Some of us utter newbs might benefit from it.
The only context given in your post was the word: this plus the fact that you posted under this thread title.
What else was a reader supposed to think other than the word "this" referred to the thread title?

= = = = =

Where do these various directions come from?
They come from members who think they would help other readers.

As a practical matter, it is impossible for an experienced person to know what things in a long series of steps would be of significance to a "newbe".
That sort of instructional needs to be done by a "newbe".

Translation:
From within the context of a person's first encounter.

I.E: Once again, "context" is the important part of the author's HowTo.
