Yes - IF your device is running firmware version 5.6.5 - DO NOT let it connect to a network - it will auto-update before you can do anything about it.

2) Don't even turn it on before you are ready to jailbreak it

3) Yes - either by yourself or having Amazon push you an update without your knowing about it and without asking your approval.

4) Makes no difference - read the first post of the 5.6.5 sticky thread.
Forget what you read at other sites that are quoting from this one - they are almost always out-of-date.
Got it. btw, I plan to ask Amazon to remove the ads since I'm not based in the US anyway and I heard they do it for free for customers like me. Can I do that after I jailbreak the device or is there another jailbreak-related method that can do that? Also, just to be clear on the third one, I can leave the jailbroken PW on wifi and let it update (if it does automatically) with no issues or should I stay on 5.6.5 after jailbreak?
