Hi all,

I'm digging out an old Kindle PW2 to start using again. This one is already on 5.4.4.2 and jailbroken with the K5 JailBreak. I see that the latest firmware for the PW2 is now 5.12.2.2 and that the WatchThis jailbreak works for this firmware.
As I have been out of the game for a while, I'm wondering if it's better to stick with 5.4.4.2 or to upgrade and use the new jailbreak. Would be interested to hear the pros and cons of doing so, e.g. new OEM features I'm missing out on, potential battery life issues, any new security measures to watch out for etc.

TIA
