I'm not up-to-date on this but the last I heard you had to disassemble the Paperwhite to jailbreak it. I'm not sure if that's still true. It's not something I'd be tempted to do even if it would improve the reading experience. I'd need a really good reason to attempt that.

Not so.
Every model of the Amazon Kindle from the K2 (the K1 doesn't need to be jailbroken) to the KOA can be jailbroken with software.
The JB on a Kindle is not like that on other devices, it does not replace any code, it only adds a single file - which can be removed if the owner chooses not to have a jailbroken Kindle.
Warranty -
That is a judgment call of the provider of the Warranty on a case-by-case basis.
To date, there has never been a report that Amazon refused honoring their warranty because of our jail break or after-market add-ins.
The three most popular reasons:
1) Your own custom screensavers.
2) Your own choice of fonts.
3) KOreader, to support many more types of e-documents.
And many other add-ins to support a user's needs.
