Hi

Thanks all for your contributions. Comments about jailbreaking seem to overflow the hyphenation ones, even if I did my best to try to put the thread back on track.

I do not complain about it. I realize that both subjects are mysteriously considered to be quite offensive by some Kindle users. It's a pity for them. They obviously miss a lot of things. Furthermore, it appears that there is clearly a huge lack of information about it.

One example:

Well, as Rizla already told you: Kobo and Nook which are the biggest sellers of e-ink readers after Amazon are not jails. You are free to root, patch, hack them. They are yours. Kindle 5.6.5. today is still a jail because Amazon interfered heavily with the release of a zeroday.

I remark that eschwartz who probably knows better does not try to correct this obvious mistake but dives for a kfx comment (of which I know nothing about to tell the truth).

Thank you also for perfecting my poor English. I looked for the meaning of this word (probably "whining"), then for synonyms: it's my pleasure to tell you that you can still use: griping, wailing, whimpering, "grousing", grumbling, sobbing, deploring, kicking up a fuss.. and many others. Feel free to tell me how disgusted you are that I am telling the truth (i.e. not lying by omission).

If you desperately want to be back on track, well there is an open question to Kindle users about hyphenation that is still unanswered.
