Hello my fellow kids,

I have a Kindle Paperwhite that I bought last year, with firmware 5.9.7 and a serial number G090 G1XX XXXX XXXX that according to your wiki is the Kindle PaperWhite 3 (2015) 7gen, WiFi Edition also called PW3 [1]

These forums are very messy, but they contain very valuable information ... According to what I have read, in the version I am in, you can not jailbreak by Software, so the other option that I have found is to use a serial port , the problem is that, before opening my Kindle, I would like to know if my model has the option of a serial port and if it is the same installation that is discussed here [2] and here [3], I have thought of buying the "USB TTL Serial Cable 1.8V" model TTL-232RG-VREG1V8-WE, ¿it would work with my model?

regards.
