1. the update; I know, that I can go to 5.7.2.1 after jb - can I do it by "update your kindle", or do I have to do that by another method ?
2. do I need to worry about future updates, that can make me any problems because of Amazon politics?
3. I know that I can come back to "clear" Kindle; without JB, and if I understand it well, I don't loose my warranty. If it's all true, can you tell me how (or link the thread I can't find)?
4. the last one: internet connection and amazon account. Most important functionality in kindle is that I can use dictionaries and wikipedia. I'm not sure, but somewhere I've found something about problems with this after jb. I was looking for 'fake account' informations and also found sth about problems with it on newest update. Can you tell me, if I will loose any functionality after jb? Where can I find some more (actual) info about internet connection/amazon account/aeroplane mode/fake account (and when do I need it)?
Sorry for the lenght of this post, it's just because of brainstorm in my head after reading this forum as a newbie.  |
1) Use the Amazon package for your model and follow their directions.
2) Almost certainly there will be future updates from Amazon.
You tell me what they will be and I'll tell you if you should worry about them.
3) The 'jailbreak' adds our signature certificate to the device's keystore. One, less than 1Kbyte file.
It does not (at least, not yet) ever caused warrenty problems.
There is no reason to remove the JB file or go back to 'clear'.
4) Just register your device and it will work the way it was intended to work by Amazon.
The posts of problems you are reading are from people who don't want to register their Kindle (or can't register it because its blacklisted (stolen)).
