Is there any way for me to revert back to 5.6.5, or is there any available jailbreak for this version currently? i'm interested in jailbreaking so that I can display the cover of my current book being read. Thanks.
If you are already upgraded past 5.6.5 you have two options:

1) open up the unit and follow the serial jailbreak thread
2) wait for someone to find one of two possible "closed kindle" solutions:
2a) a new security hole in the new firmware that yields a new jailbreak
2b) a way to downgrade to 5.6.5 and allow the current jailbeak to be used

Thankfully I was able to use the jailbreak on my KT2, as I suspect my skills would have been insufficient to take the serial approach and would have left me with a KT2 paperweight.
