I'm looking to buy a PW2 or PW3, but I will need to be able to turn the LEDs completely off. I've seen the thread for the Front Light Master extension for the PW2. Is there anything like this for the PW3 yet? If not and if there isn't anything on the horizon then I'll probably rule out the PW3. If the magnet trick still works on the PW3 then maybe I'll still consider it, but I'd rather modify the software if possible.

I mostly plan to read pdf's on the device, so will likely install koreader. Is there any advantage to using a PW2 or PW3 for this purpose? If I were to get the newest PW3 with updated firmware would I have to downgrade it in order to jailbreak it?
