Okay, I'm back with a new Kindle!

Same deal:
* Kindle PW3 (Serial number: G090 G1...)
* Firmware 5.8.10.1 (3214560001)
* Purchased in New Zealand, so will be a Euro unit.
* No Special offers
* Unit is not deleting update files upon USB Disconnect
* I have skipped setup, and Unit has never been connected to WIFI

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but am I right in saying that this firmware is a 'special case' like 5.8.9.0.1 - where a downgrade can be successful, and the unit can be jailbroken if done right? (I.E Not trying to downgrade to 5.7, which cases boot loops and bricks the device, like in my previous case.)
I'm reading conflicting information, and obviously don't want to brick a second unit for no reason.

Wont try anything until advised this time!

Cheers,
