I would like to say thank you, thank you, thank you to you all!

A couple of days ago I was successful in jailbreaking my Kindle Voyage. The Voyage was at 5.8.1. I downgraded, installed the jailbreak, and installed hotfix; then upgraded back up to 5.8.1. I now have KUAL, kpvbooklet and KOReader running on the Voyage and it is fantastic!

Today I was also successful in jailbreaking my Kindle Oasis. The only difference in the instructions in the first post of this thread was in the instruction about preparing the device was to Reset first. With the Oasis, I started with 5.8.1; I reset device (then had to register again), device still at 5.8.1. Installed the downgrade 5.7.4, installed the jailbreak; installed the hotfix update successfully. KUAL does not yet work. It says "Application Error. The selected application could not be started. Please try again." I understand that it is expected at this time and an update to KUAL may be forthcoming if I read correctly. I have not yet upgraded the Oasis back to 5.8.1 so it is still on the 5.7.4.

I do appreciate all of your hard work in providing these tools. Thank you so much!
