I have tried following this forum and http://lifehacker.com/how-to-jailbre...dle-1783864074
But get stuck at the first hurdle.
I understand I need to downgrade my firmware but when I transfer the .bin file to my kindle, unmount it and try to "update" it the update selection is grayed out. When I reconnect to my computer the .bin file is missing.
What am I doing wrong?
Can I jailbreak from this version of firmware?
I'm confused right now, not that that is difficult to do
Any pointers greatly appreciated

Regards
Clive
There is NO jailbreak for this version. Right now, your choices are enjoy your paperwhite as it is or return it.
I have read that article. It neglects to say read the spoiler in the first post of this thread. In two days that article you linked will be 11 months old.
