Alright, downgraded my PW1 5.6.1.1 to 5.3.3 following instructions HERE, seems to have stuck. Few questions before I proceed further:

Should I upgrade further to 5.4.4.2 prior to applying the jailbreak? Or does the JB itself update the FW to the max supported version?

Then what? I'm basically after ePub support so I don't have to convert via Calibre anymore, so KOReader?

Do I need to block OTA updates at all? Sounds like the JB remains intact even if I update, but I want to make sure I don't advance beyond a point of no return unintentionally. Sounds like Amazon likes to ninja updates if you've got your wifi active.

Any better collection support? I thought I read some thread or another about better Calibre collection plugin support with a JB device, but I can't seem to find it at all.

Finally, any additional font support? What prompted the JB was being annoyed that PW2+ got the 5.6.5 update with fancy new font, but no love for PW1 users. Not a fan of forced upgrades when my current device works just fine (with the obvious exceptions mentioned above).

Thanks so much!
