I can confirm that adbreak works on the Scribe (1st gen, FW 5.18.1).
I've successfully enabled "Special Offers" in my Amazon account, though I’m not sure it actually had any effect (only a new setting in the account section to enable ads on the lockscreen) — the “View all ads” section shows nothing.
There were no regular ads, only a generic Kindle Store Ad banner on the lock screen and a sponsored banner on the homepage. I managed to trigger the exploit through that sponsored banner instead, by clicking the “Learn more” link. The photo was taken after the jailbreak, and the banner seems to have disappeared since.
I should mention that I had never seen those lock screen or sponsored banners before. However, I can’t confirm whether they were due to Special Offers or just the default behavior, since I only connected my Kindle on the day I received it. I also tried performing a factory reset before the jailbreak, but it didn't change anything.
Anyway, thanks for the great work!

Hey, so good to hear that! As a fellow Scribe user, can I ask how did you do it? I'm currently on 5.18.5.0.1, and turning on Special Offers still seems to do nothing
