Hi all, thanks for this awesome trick but before I perform it all. I have a few questions that I haven't seen in this thread yet.

About my device:
Kindle Paperwhite 3 WiFi
F/W Version: 5.8.11
Serial (first 6): G090KB

1) I bought this kindle brand new and basically turned it on, picked English (US) and skipped Wi-Fi setup. My question is, how do I know if I have Special Offer? Do I need to register it and just check my screen saver? It seems like I need to register it anyway but kind of don't want to touch my kindle too much until I'm ready to JB.

2) As someone who has never used a Kindle. Do the Kindle's performance ever bog down over time? This happens a lot on Android devices and usually I do a "reset" to improve performance, obviously with the JB, I can't do that anymore. Especially if I want to update to the latest Kindle update.

3) That leads me to my final question, is there any reports of accounts or devices being banned after JB and after an update?

Thanks again for all the lovely work that has been put into this.
