Super interesting read. It does seem to me that older than the latest firmwares should all be vulnerable to the JPEG XR exploit. You wouldn't need the whole email to kindle path, just a special mobi file to side load and then once it has elevated privileges, install the certificate key of the jailbreak.

I am a mere javascript programmer, but posts like these always make me want to jump into other things. The creativity of the hacks like from the article and the hacks from the mobileread users are something I really admire.

Is someone reaching out to the author on getting access to the ̶s̶p̶e̶c̶i̶a̶l̶ ̶m̶o̶b̶i̶ ̶f̶i̶l̶e̶?̶ special JPEG?
