Hello,
I have a Kindle Paperwhite 1st gen and am currently jailbroken on 5.4.4 and whish to upgrade to the latest version.
However, as I read quite a lot of PDFs on my Kindle a jailbreak (with KOreader) is essential.

Is it possible for me to upgrade without losing my jailbreak?

As I can see it, it is not possible yet to jailbreak more up-to-date firmwares without opening the kindle up - is that correct?

thank you!
