On the other hand, 5.9.6.1 does give you native support for custom fonts.

As for blocking updates, create a folder named update.bin.tmp.partial on the Kindle root/top level directory (e.g. D: or something on Windows). You'll need to do this right away before connecting to wifi to prevent automatic updates before you install factory firmware.

Thanks! I managed to get it up and running on 5.9.6.1 and got my book cover showing up on the Lock Screen!
