Thank you! I had not come across this option, and the initial post in this OpenSesame thread seems to imply that the newer method is the only option:

JailBreak.

The current method (WatchThis) requires a device running a FW version <= to 5.14.2.

If that's not you, then you're currently sorely out of luck.

If that's you, check out the WatchThis thread for detailed installation instructions, and come back here once that's done .
I only noticed just now, when searching the first page of this thread for "KindleBreak", that it is discussed in post #2 "for archival purposes". Which, again, suggests that it is an outdated approach, and that WatchThis is -- if not the only working approach -- at least the preferred one?

So, should WatchThis be used whenever possible? Or is KindleBreak still the preferred approach if one has a sufficiently old FW as the starting point? I am still a bit confused... Thanks for helping me out!
