I have no experience with jailbreaking, so consider me a beginner to this whole process. I would like to be able to track how long I read (as I outlined in this post), and someone said I need to jailbreak and install koreader.

I have two kindles.
1) B024 Kindle PaperWhite WiFi - with firmware 5.6.1.1
2) G090G1 Kindle PaperWhite 3 (2015) WiFi - with firmware 5.12.4

I have found a few articles about jailbreaking from HowToGeek and LifeHacker. Both describe slightly different processes. Is there one that I should follow over the other? Or is there another method entirely that is better?

Basically just wondering what the next step to take is. Thanks!
