I have a PW2 WiFi(B0D4 2204), with FW 5.6.5, already jailbroke, running KUAL, ScreenSaver Hack, BackDoor, etc... I love it.

I put the "jb" at the root, and I stopped and ask for my self:

"I really **have** to do this?"

I have no answers... Im curious about the new "home view" in FW 5.7.2.1, but nothing else, I dont want to loose anything... so:

1. I must upgrade?
2. what is next? waiting for a 5.7.2.1 JB?
3. what do you guys recomend to do in my situation?

Thanks!
1) Owner's choice.
2) Not required, the jail break will survive the Amazon upgrade.
3) Your choice.
Point:
*) As you have seen, 5.6.5 is at risk of having software run as 'root' when triggered by a remote website.
If you use the Kindle's built-in browser, that might be important to you.
*) 5.7.x.x is supposed to be protected from the risk.

All of your add-ins, other than KUAL and its extensions, will have to be re-installed.
Same-Same as always.
