Hi,

I have a PW3W running 5.8.1 jailbroken, with KUAL for epubs and the screensaver hack.

I am trying to find a complete answer to what do I need to do in order to update the kindle software to the latest version (5.8.7) to no avail.

Do I need to install/update anything before updating? Can I update over the air or do I need to download a bin?

I have read that the jailbreak survives the update, but will the python install, the screensaver hack and the KUAL installation survive the jailbreak too or do I need to reinstall anything?
Also, will I lose anything in the kindle (bookmarks, books...)

Thanks a lot for your help!
