Yes, any Kindle where the serial port connections are know can be jailbroken via that route. The only one where the proper connections are currently unknown is the Oasis.

You will have to open the case and connect the proper 1.8v serial adapter to do so and use the appropriate serial software on your computer with the proper settings. Look in the sticky posts at the top of the main forum page and you should be able to find the thread on your particular model.
