The current $49 "Basic" Kindle is what we call the KT2 (Kindle Touch 2) on account of Amazon calls about half their Kindles the "All-New Basic Kindle".
You will need the Kindle Touch (first ever Kindle to have a touch screen) or earlier in order to use the easy drag-and-drop jailbreak, You can probably buy it used.
Or, @madagascaradam reported that the PW1 only can still be downgraded via the forced-reboot trick: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=263411 |
Ah, i didn't realize the new firmware made serial the only way to jailbreak. I thought it was the PW3 hardware, I just assumed the natural progression regarding new hardware would be a serial jailbreak until someone figured out a new way to do it.
That is definitely the most annoying thing about the kindle product line, they seem irritatingly opposed to distinguishing between iterations of hardware - it makes buying kindles on craigslist hard if you can't identify models by grainy photos (titled kindle ___ in the title).
Thanks for all the info guys, I'll just use it for a couple days and see whether the user experience is worth it, otherwise i'll try a kobo or the PRS-T3
