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? |
Yes.
The JB does not change the FW version.

It does, if you are using the most recent version.

Airplane Mode is certain protection.

The Calibre plug-in is still here (somewhere).
So is the Librarian Sync application.
Try the FGA for tips on searching here.
At least one of our frequent visitors uses a combination of both.

What you find in the Font Hack thread here.

You would have to pull the Fonts out of one of Amazon's Update Packages (KindleTool takes update packages apart).
You would still have the old layout engine though, so it might be a waste of time.
I don't recall reading any posts from someone who has back-ported the Berkley fonts.

Thanks so much!
