I did some researching a few months ago for to jailbreak a kindle on 5.18.1 and it was the ad jailbreak. Barely have had time to read let alone jb so haven't looked into it lately. Pretty sure this is still the method for that firmware?

Wondering though, is it necessary to to have actual ads on the screen, because all I get is the woman with the telescope picture and not sure that's considered an ad for the app store or not? This is the US kindle store and it's in airplane mode and the hard drive is full.

Thanks
