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.
Only jailbroken kindles can open EPUB files (after installing koreader).

EPUB files can be sent to amazon for conversion. amazon's announcements regarding this have been vauge and confusing.
