I’m ready to pull a trigger on a Kindle ereader on Prime Day. But I cannot yet decide whether to go with PW4 or KT4.

The ability to jailbreak the device is quite a decisive decision factor for me. I know that PW4 is now shipped with FW higher than 5.10.1.3 (so no luck on the jailbreak).

I don’t have a clue about FW that KT4 is currently shipped with. Is it still 5.11.0?

If the current KT4 cannot be jailbroken, I might buy PW4. I get an impression that people here at mobileread community seem to work on hacking PW4 more than on KT4. So PW4 might have a higher chance to be jailbroken in the future.

I would appreciate if anyone can shed light on this.
