Thank you j.p.s, NiLuJe and ilovejedd for your fast answers.
Once I received my new KT4W (DSN: G090WH--------P5) I turned it on and followed the instructions selecting spanish (Spain) as the kindle language (I even registered it at my Amazon account as my seventh kindle); then I put it into airplane mode.
then I started the jailbreak process: Downloaded update_kt4_5.11.0_factory.bin, sent it to the kindle and updated the kindle.
Then downloaded kindle-jb-factory-1.3-r16160.tar.xz, decompressed it and sent merchant.zip to the kindle
As I didn't get the "you're jailbroken" document when I searched for ;merchant,I tried again with no success.
Then I deregistered the kindle (I cancelled airplane mode just to do it, then I put it on again) and repeated the complete process once again but again with no success.
I have 18 dictionaries: German, chinese(2), spanish, french, english(6), italian, japanese(2), dutch, portuguese(2) and russian.
I have a large epub library and I don't like calibre conversions because I get too much errors when formatting the books, that's why I would like to jailbreak the device.
Any idea? ;-) Thx
Any idea?
