I bought a S/H Paperwhite 2 on ebay. I took a chance, and Yay! it had old FW and I was able to jailbreak it and install Koreader. It is a solid piece of kit, very well made. However, I would NEVER buy an Amazon e-reader unless I could JB it. The inability to easily manage collections is a deal-breaker for me. In Koreader, I can organize books using linux folders.
In short, Amazon e-readers are excellent hardware, but the unnecessary software limitations render them unusable for me.
I think a JBed Oasis with Koreader would be a wonderful device, but alas, it is not meant to be.
