I am considering getting a PW - I have a 3 year old Fire that I really use only for reading and think a PW might be better for my needs. I use Calibre to manage our ebooks and Calibre Companion on the Fire. That works really well.

We homeschool and I use tags to organize via grade level and subject so it's easy to find what I need at the moment. Plus my own personal books are organized with tags.

It looks to me like a jailbreak and Calibre Collections is the best way to manage books in a similar fashion.

From what I'm seeing, the newest PaperWhite cannot be jailbroken? Should I look at a refurbished older model? Is there a certain firmware I need to look at?

Or is there another option using the newest other than manually adding to collections (I have found some tips for doing that quickly if need be, but it doesn't sound ideal).

Any help is greatly appreciated - or if there's a guide that really breaks down which generations are available, which can be jailbroken, etc. I can look at that. I'm just honestly not sure which generation the current PW on Amazon is, the firmware, etc...

Thank you!
