All models of Kindles can be jail broken with the exception of those running the two most recent firmwares.
New Kindles (I will know about Amazon-Refurbished tomorrow) are shipping with a functional: ;installHtml search bar command.
(Probably as a production error, but they are shipping them that way.)

Most of the activity here is behind-the-scenes preparation for any new models this fall.

Of course, I know which one can be jailbroken and which one not - I mean I've been following this thread for hella long time.
I just wanted to have some fun with the Amazon Customer Service and actually *try* to make them think just a little about making a downgradeable firmware.
So, please don't blame me for any false statements in the chat screenshots - I mean, I just tried explaining Jailbreaking to somebody who might actually never heard about it.
And so, the two recent firmwares have been impossible to jailbreak. I was unlucky enough to see this thread when I already was at 5.8.9.2. I haven't been thinking about jailbreaking my Kindle since the time I got it (December 2014) - I just thought it's a lost game.
I've unloked the bootloaders on all my Android devices and even on my Windows Phone, so I feel pretty comfy with jailbreaking my already 2½ year old Kindle.
Right now, I'm just hoping for an Amazon miracle of releasing a jailbreakable firmware for everyone (which is pretty unlikely, but the hope dies last).
