I've been trying to find information on Firmware for Kindles...
It's been a battle finding the information, & there's still a lot I'd like to add, but I started making a Google Sheet that has a Table with all the Firmwares & a list of notes about them.
The specific things I've been collecting are things like
- What Jailbreak Options Work On It
- What Models have that version
- What New Features were introduced with it
- What problems have been noted for it
- Links to articles discussing it
The Intent of my search is to determine the best Firmware for the Jailbreaks of the Kindles I have. But it's a lot of work & hard to find, especially things like "Which Firmware changed the Home Screen to the new format that I dislike" & "Which Firmware took away the ability to have Collections in the Library that stay at the top & show books even if they are Read while the main Library does not"
So as I've been collecting this data I've had it in a few places, 1st a OneNote Document with the information. That was hard to sift through so I created a Google Doc with collapsible Headings for each Firmware. That was much better, but not ideal. Then I have my new one, which I feel is (at least so far) the best, A Table.
Now I would like to make that Table editable by anyone who is more active here & will keep it updated better than I will, while allowing anyone to comment on it, & I, or they, can incorporate the comments when they have been verified.
As of now I'm including links to the Firmwares, but so far that is just for the current Newest Firmwares & I probably will also do that for the Last Jailbreakable ones as well.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated & I'll try to incorporate everything that I reasonably can.
Any things I should consider aside from that?
