Good evening.
I just received a brand new PW4 here (serial G000PP), and got here before doing anything else with it (I didn't even register it yet).

I have a few questions about the process, that I either missed, or aren't in the instruction in the OP.

- Should I register my device with Amazon before doing the jailbreak, or can I just go by without ever registering it?
- I just checked and my version is 5.12.4. This means I must send a PM to ilovejedd, the OP doesn't have any update that allows me to follow the instruction directly with this firmware, right?
- After doing the JB, should I stay completely clear of any update that takes me to 5.13+, or if I already did the JB-fix I'm safe, like I saw someone here talking about 5.13.3?
- Last, but not least: is a JB for me? I just want to sideload books, and I know there's Calibre for that, and I'm mainly use it to read mangas and technical books (yes, I'm a weeb and also a systems engineer, so I would love to be able to read Chainsaw Man alongside Unix Network Programming - although I just saw there's a Kindle version for it). Would jailbreaking make it easier to find and convert books to sideload in the correct formats?

This is my first time with a device like that, I thought it would be cool to read in a thing that won't blare blue light in my eyes, but I'm not familiar with the jailbreak/alternative firmwares and apps for this kind of system.
