Dear know it all (but actually not knowing anything) Kobo troll, just had to let you know this peace of information: a friend bought a PW5 Kids bundle couple of weeks ago directly from amazon.de and it had firmware v5.14.0.1 and this evening I helped him jailbreak it.

And if those claims about format of serial numbers in relation with manufacture dates are correct then that particular unit from Amazon DE is older (being made mid-November 2021.) than both of my PW5 Kids units that were bought from Amazon.com and shipped inside the US (the first one that bootlooped / bricked after 20 or so days was bought in early April 2022. and the replacement unit was sent in early May 2022.)
