Congrats on taking the first step.
Personally, the things I like most about having a jailbroken Kindle are:
Managing collections through the calibre plugin "Kindle Collections" -- invaluable.
Custom screensavers (cover of currently open book).
Skipstone browser by @baf -- much nicer than the builtin one, quite handy on the go.
Terminal shell because it is ALWAYS nice, and opens the door to infinite random one-off possibilities
Some people like using KOReader as their reader app, especially if they read PDFs. The builtin PDF renderer is garbage. Also reads EPUB, but you should probably just convert those to AZW3 anyway. In fact, calibre already did that automatically for you -- right?
Some people actually care about fonts -- I certainly don't. But if you do, the font hack is there for you and allows you to override the system fonts with your own fonts.
