Hi all, I'm planning to buy my girlfriend a kindle paperwhite for christmas--

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...NRGKDLDE6LWIZP

here are my questions:

is it still possible to jailbreak it using only a USB cable, and add screensavers.
Can i use it with calibre (like I can with my paperwhite 2) to read mobi file formats?

I'm worried that the latest Paperwhite might be really locked down, so I'll either buy a used Paperwhite 2, or, if you say that the New Paperwhite is fine, I'll get that.

Thanks!
