In 2016 I had successfully jailbroken my Paperwhite 2, but I didn't know I was not allowed to reset the device (I know, it was obvious that it was going to erase the jailbreak, but I totally forgot about the jailbreak).

My question is: is there anyone working on jailbreaking the new firmwares? I'm currently using 5.9.6.1, which is Amazon's latest. Should I expect a new jailbreak anytime soon?

Thanks in advance for the good work you provide!

PS: I basically use the jailbreak for the screensaver hack, because I HATE the Amazon wallpapers...
Your only option at present is to open it up and do a serial jailbreak. A software jailbreak will require a vulnerability be found and exploited in the more recent firmware to install the single file that is necessary to allow installing custom software. If you have the skills to research this feel free to do so.
