HarryT's point is valid for people purchasing from Amazon, Amazon has probably sold all the devices that where running 5.6.5

But your point about ads in your country shows the exception to HarryT's point -
I.E: Kindles can be purchased at places other than Amazon.
And those Kindles might be 'old stock' -
So stick with my precautions on the 'better safe than sorry' theory.

After both steps of the jailbreak described in the first post here - -
Then what firmware version you run is up to you (and Amazon, unless you have blocked their auto-updates).

With both steps of the jailbreak done, it is safe from Amazon updates (its 'viral')
I got it off Amazon during their recent sale for Prime members a couple of weeks past (score!) so I'm assuming that it's not yet on 5.6.5. I got a clearer picture now but I might drop by this thread again once I get my hands on it. Thanks knc1 and HarryT! You're awesome
