No.

It is not locked down against using the serial port to jail break it.

No hope there, all of the touch screen Kindles (except the original K5 touch) are running the 5.6.x series firmware.
Oh god.

Right now I'm running 5.4.2.1 on my PW2, it's jailbroken and...

1. I download non-DRM books and load (is this called sideloading?) them with Calibre (I don't know what format. I think mobi--can I still read those or is there a new PW-3 format?)
2. Have Backdoor Lock blocking OTA updates.
3. Have KUALauncher and with it, a great PDF reader
4. Have my own custom screensavers (I built a screensaver maker here: https://crowned.github.io/kindlesaver/ )

Just to make sure I'm clear...

Which can I do with a jailbroken PW3?

With a non-jailbroken PW3?

If I get a PW2 running 5.6.x can I use a USB to downgrade?
