I've successfully jailbroken and updated my Voyage - there were a couple of obstacles, though. The actual JB process went smoothly enough, but the installation of KUAL was a problem; I did eventually get that working, though. I've also updated to the 5.8.5 firmware, and installed the screensaver hack too. I'm going to see about installing the font hack as well, and then I'll just have a browse and see if there's anything else I fancy installing.

Am I reading your above post correctly, knc1, in believing that each time I update the firmware in the future, I'll have to reinstall the screensaver hack, font hack, and anything else I have installed?

Also, I still have my Voyage in Aeroplane Mode, but I don't want to receive OTA updates when I switch wi-fi back on (I do use the wi-fi from time to time to submit review scores to Goodreads when I finish a book etc). To this end, I've created a blank folder called update.bin.tmp.partial on the root of my KV (at the same level as /documents). Do I need to do anything else? Or will that block any future OTA updates?

Thanks for all your help, it's been greatly appreciated!
