Hi,

Just got a new Kindle Voyage with 5.8.2.1 on it. I have a few questions before Jailbreaking it.

1. How important is it to get rid of Special offers? I'd rather not spend the $20.

2. If I do get rid of Special Offers, I have to let the Voyage connect to Amazon. But won't that trigger an automatic update to 5.8.8 which will make it impossible to Jailbreak? How do I prevent the automatic update?

3. If I don't get rid of Special Offers, then I assume I just plug into USB, copy over the 5.5.0 firmware, and update in Airplane mode?

Thanks for help, I don't want to screw this up.
