Hi everybody

I've a Kindle Paperwhite 1 (5th gen, PW1 I guess) and a Kindle Touch (4th gen, KT1?). They're both jailbroken, both with JBPatch, KUAL, and the font hack.

Today Amazon wrote me that without a firmware update I won't be able to download books anymore.

The PW1 will be likely updated to 5.6.1.1 and the KT will be updated to 5.3.7.3.

I've a few questions.

What's really new with these firmwares? Do they come with the new font tuning capabilities?
Will jailbreak survive the update for both? Any particular recommendation to be reasonabily sure the jailbreak will survive?
What I do really need is the margin feature of JBPatch and the font hack. Will I be able to have these features again? Even with interface set to italian?
Will the anti-update feature of KUAL avoid the update?

Thanks to anybody that will try to answer.
