Or should I do a downgrade and jailbreak it if it indeed ships with the latest firmware?

But just in case I won't be able to jailbreak it, can sideloaded books be added to the collections that were created in the non-jailbroken Kindle itself? I've read that there's an option in the Kindle to add a new collection and manually add books.
Not sure what country you're in but my Voyage just arrive d on Monday with 5.6.5 in the UK. So it's not beyond the realms of possibility to get one that's jailbreakable! I didn't bother, but I can see the benefits.
