Can someone link or explain the following:
1. What are the benefits of jailbreaking a Kindle Paperwhite?

Being able to use the hacks in this (now properly assigned) subforum, obviously.

2. Can you jailbreak a Paperwhite if you have version 5.7.3?

Yes, but it requires using the serial port method -- the only closed-kindle (software-based) jailbreak we have currently is restricted to fw <= 5.6.5

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?

Easy -- registering is not required for reading books (although collections is dependent on registering).
Via the hacks posted here, you can fake register, and/or use the Block Big Brother firewall, and/or the collections management hacks.
