The other caveat to all this, is that for any chance of this to work, it seems people need to have the non-special offers version in the first place. When I bought my refurbished one, I had no choice but to buy a special offers version. Of course to turn that off, you have to turn on the wireless to make the necessary purchase. In retrospect, it was a bit of a catch 22.
That was on one certain PW.
The jailbreak works on Special offer kindles. The screensaver hack will NOT work on a special offers kindle.
