Hello,

I JB'ed my Kindle Paperwhite 2 back in 2021, installed KUAL and a couple of plugins and have mostly left it untouched since. Indeed, the Kindle has been in Aeroplane mode for the majority of the time since then.

The recent change to remove the Download option for Kindle Unlimited books is a nasty surprise and I was hoping to workaround it by grabbing the books from my PW after getting the books over WiFi, then using the KFX Input plugin.

Unfortunately my PW is 5.12.2 which is literally just one patch version over the last compatible version with KFX Input - argh! I've come across the KUAL downgrader plugin but that forum thread has me more confused. It also mentions that with a FW update, the jailbreak has to be reinstalled which has me worried that I could lose the JB if I'm not careful.

Could someone provide me some tips on what I should be doing? Is there some specific steps I need to follow to "update" the JB before trying to downgrade the firmware via KUAL? What is the process for the JB after I apply a firmware update? Any guidance would be very welcome!
