Hi, I have performed the JB with the intention to install KOReader, and I’m very happy with the result, thank you to everyone involved in providing the instructions and hacks!

On to the questions:

1. I am keeping the [update.bin.tmp.partial] folder for now, so as to block the OTA updates and stay on 5.9.6.1, if I understand correctly. Am missing much by doing so? Amazon doesn’t keep a release history for its updates, just the release notes for the latest one.

2. Is there any other stuff I should try, besides USBNetwork which from what I understand could help me sideload books wirelessly?

Thank you!
