Yeah I'm just not super confident in tearing a device down and jailbreaking like that unless it's very simple and the physical risk to the device isn't too extraordinarily high. As in, if opening it breaks a seal of some sort and it loses its water protection etc.

I'd also prefer to not have to buy extra tools, but that's just cause I'm a broke guy lol. If only you could use Calibre's Kindle Collections without jailbreak then I honestly probably wouldn't need it. Screensavers are really nice, but it's a lack of book organization ease that is the biggest downfall to the device for me.

Question though, if I copy all my books to my PW2, kindle collections to make everything the way I want, is there some way then to sync all those changes and collections to the PW4? (I never thought of it as an option, but maybe it would work?)
