Has that changed? I'm pretty sure this was talked about here quite a bit in the past.

Yes that has changed. As knc1 says, "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."
But for the most part, I've not had a reason to bother. I recently tried a jailbreak, hoping to use a newly written "control page turns by remote presentation pointer" piece of code. The jailbreak was easy; but that code doesn't yet support my device. So I *could* remove the jailbreak, but haven't bothered, since it breaks nothing.
