Hello,

I'm new to the Kindle Paperwhite. I've looked through the internet and this forum, but I don't seem to see the reason for jailbreaking a paperwhite.

Can someone link or explain the following:

1. What are the benefits of jailbreaking a Kindle Paperwhite?
2. Can you jailbreak a Paperwhite if you have version 5.7.3?
3. Is it possible to take all my personal information off of my Paperwhite and have it not connected to wifi, but still put e books on it? If so, how?

I love using the kindle, but my biggest issues are the adds and it knows too much personal information and then tries to post that info publicly. Once I realized that it updates automatically when you go on wifi, I have not put the device on wifi since. I keep it in airplane mode.

If someone could point me to the right forum post that explains the above, that would be so awesome. I may be using the wrong words to search for the right answers.

Thanks much!
