I am looking to buy a Kindle Oasis or Paperwhite but I have no idea about what model number or firmware it is going to have by looking at the Amazon page. For example, the product is called "All-New Kindle Oasis (10th Gen)". Any idea if I can know beforehand whether the device is possible to jailbreak without buying it first?



I would have preferred to buy a Kobo but they are not available here in India. If anyone wants to suggest any non-Kindle ebook readers that are compatible with Koreader I would appreciate that as well.



Thanks.
If you buy new from Amazon, it's likely it'll come with a newer firmware that isn't jail breakable

If you buy used from, say, eBay, you can ask seller what firmware version it's running on and ask them to leave it on airplane mode for you
