Say for example, if I wanted to flash PW3 5.14.2 on a Kindle Voyage (either through UYK [probably impossible without modifying the update file] or doing it manually through flashing the eMMC), what would really be stopping it from working? AFAIK since both have identical SoCs and same amount of ram, as well as the same screen resolution.

I hope this post is allowed, and I'm asking this question from a perspective of someone who doesn't know much at all about Kindle's own hardware. Would love to learn it more though.
