Yeah, having to redo the jailbreak hotfix with every Kindle version update can get annoying. That's why I initially downgraded to 5.6.5 on my PW3, but I missed some features from newer software versions.

As already mentioned, KOReader doesn't feel as integrated on the Kindle (for example, no USB mass storage, which is admittedly a minor pet peeve). It does run decently though. My Kindle is over 6 years old now, and I'm starting to consider a potential replacement device. It's hard to decide, because while I like Kindles, jailbreaking is a pain, and I can't read library e-books on it. I was eyeing the Sage but it's a bit pricey, the pen features apparently aren't as good as some other devices, and everyone knows about the battery life.
