It is reasonable to assume the PW will come with fw5.6.5 (or lower) since the 5.7.2 update only just came out and they will still be selling their current boxed-up stock.

So you will be able to jailbreak -- but Duokan uses their own incompatible jailbreak certificates and they haven't (yet) stolen our latest jailbreak. You cannot install the Duokan jailbreak until they "release" a new one...

KOReader will work fine, in fact since KOReader works with the community they are the best option.

Just follow the instructions linked in the OP, and ask if you need any particular step clarified.
It's pretty simple, lots of people have managed it even without possessing any unix knowledge.
