Hi everyone,

I've just inherited an old Kindle 4 and want to ask the community about whether or not I should jailbreak this since my main goal is to add my own EPUB files to use.

My Kindle 4 is currently running on version 4.1.3 and after doing some research, it appears that since late last year in 2022, Amazon has allowed us to add EPUB files without converting it.

Because of this news, will this be applicable for my Kindle 4 or is this only for newer devices? Should I just update my Kindle?

Also from what I've read, jailbreaking the Kindle 4 doesn't open up a lot of options aside from loading your own customizations. The only reason why I'm considering this is because I want to use my own EPUB files.

Can someone please help?
