Thanks a million in advance to all my old and new friends here. This group is awesome and I have had many really helpful times - and (hopefully) have helped others.

Welcome back.

Known here as a: PW-2
If you intend to use the current software jailbreak,
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=275877
your PW-2 can not be running a firmware version more recent than 5.8.7.0.1
So do not let it connect to the Internet, if you do, it will update.
As soon as you get it, put it in 'Airplane Mode' (or turn off Wireless - wording depends on its current firmware version).
Then connect it with USB cord to your PC and install the 'blocker directory' described in Step #7 of the above link.
(Yes, you can use that before you jailbreak the device.)
That above should take care of the 'as soon as I have hands on it' situation.
Post back when you can give more details (like fw version it is currently running).
If you intend to use the current serial port jailbreak,

The firmware version running does not matter, those directions apply to any touchscreen Kindle.

A lot of people have left since you where last here.
Just having someone show up that knows how to ask a good question is a relief.
