It's been a long time since I've been on this forum. I just bought a Kindle PW3, and it came with 5.8.9.2 on it. I was able to stop it from upgrading forward, but of course with 5.8.9.2, it was too late.
I can't complain. Years ago I jailbroke my Keyboard Kindle. I honestly didn't think I had used it much except the collection manager. I came here hoping I might be able to use it again, but alas it seems like I won't.
I'll be patient, but it sounds like there isn't much hope going forward. I see references to potential new releases, but I would expect that as long as Amazon know they've blocked further jailbreaking, they won't do anything to go backward. I'm only slightly saddened as my reading habits don't really need my kindle to be jail-broken.
I do appreciate all the efforts I see have gone on since I last looked into this. In all honesty when my previous kindle finally broke and I bought this PW3, I really figured the ability to jail-break a kindle would have been long-dead.
I know this doesn't matter here (I have complained to Amazon), but I really wish in killing the ability to jail-break, Amazon would actually work to implement features the jail-break allowed us to have. Maybe we wouldn't need to if they would add a few more features.
Again, it's just a thanks to all the effort in this thread and forum. I'll keep an eye out for any develops, but my expectations won't be too high.
