Yeah, that should be jailbreakable. You need to use factory firmware 5.10.0.2 with md5sum be5cc7a210bfa4fc81d4a03e62647714 from the first post.

Ignore the usbnet comment. The ;installHtml method is easier to use. Note, you have to extract the K5 jailbreak on your PC first (on Windows, use 7-zip). The only file you need to copy is main-htmlviewer.tar.gz to the root of the Kindle (well, internally it's /mnt/us but from Windows or Linux point of view X: or /mnt/media/Kindle).

After that, copy and install the hotfix. Once that's done, you can update to consumer firmware (currently 5.10.1.2).

Remember, you need coplate's KUAL build for the PW4 (link somewhere in this thread). The KUAL on NiLuJe Snapshot thread's first post just displays blank.
