Sorry, confused here. Figured out the K3 with help (thanks!) and now thought I would tackle the paperwhite 2.

Last time I did the jailbreak in 2014, I used the 1.14N at the beginning of this thread and then I updated to 5.4.5.1

I installed Kual at that time and I have one extensions folder with a bunch of subfolders inside it (BBB, Koreader, MRinstaller etc).
I have also a folder for mrpackages and a folder for python (among others).

My questions are:

1. What is the key value of updating the firmware past 5.4.5.1 to 5.7x and what is the key drawback(s)?

2. If I decide to update the firmware, do I need to update the jailbreak first to the latest one in this thread (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=225030)

or can I just update the file called "bridge" to the root of device from here (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...postcount=1597) and then update to 5.7x?

Or some other process?

3. I'm unclear also on how to update all the Kual extensions. Do I just replace each subfolder in the extensions file with the updated extension? Or do I get rid of the entire extensions folder and just put all those updates at the root of the kindle and they will each create an individual extensions folder? Or they will find the extensions folder and deposit their subfolder inside of it?
