Yes, you can have them removed by Amazon later but it is easier to do it before jailbreaking.

Personally if you just want to jailbreak for other formats, my suggestion would be convert with Calibre instead.

*Make sure if you decide to jailbreak that you read ALL (including the spoilers) the instructions and understand them before starting.
*Do not attempt to remove the special offers yourself unless you want a $100+ paperweight.
I have just read about people getting onto Amazon customer service, and asking them to remove the ads, and the Amazon agents doing this for free, but warning it is an exception. So perhaps I could order one with special offers, see if I can get ads removed for free, if not pay the cost, and only then jailbreak? Any drawback to this?

Also, is 5.8.7.0.1 the current firmware version a new PW will come with?
