Amazon has patched the flaw that allowed the last jailbreak. When will someone find another security hole that will allow a new jail break? It could be next week, it could be years. I think the time between the last jail break and the one before that was several years.

In other words, don't hold your breath. If you really hate the new update that much, find a used one with an old firmware version and don't turn on wifi. Better yet, find one with firmware between 5.10.3 and 5.13.3 inclusive, jail break, and disable automatic update. Then you can use wifi and not worry about it updating.
