I say this because in [link out of date] chinese page they talk about serial jailbreak for KT3 (if the translation of google is good enough).

Thanks in advanced!
You could try this perhaps. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...ht=KT3&page=27

Found this while searching for KT3 myself. Although, the newer androidized devices haven't been hacked that much or so I am unaware. But, peeps here haven't done much about the models which are somewhat "androidized".

KT3 is one such device, and according to most of the geniuses here the chances are slim. I haven't tried it myself yet either, but I am on a lower firmware. It could work for you too.

I'd also like to say to knc1 and others, that xda might not be a good place for kindle e-readers. It's mostly full of fire hd tablets and I saw no mention about a e-reader. Hardly anyone would notice or come to help (or would be of much help if they don't own the device) so you guys might be the only saviors for anyone who has such a device.
