Thanks for this post, just what I was looking for.

I've had my kindle for 3 days and I'm loving it. For it to be perfect I just need to be able to read scientific papers in PDF, and Savory seems perfect for this.

I have a couple of questions!!

- The update to "jailbreak" the kindle international edition.. can it be undone?
I mean, I have to copy the bin file to the system folder, then go to settings and "install update". Ok, what if something goes wrong? Can I just delete the bin file?
Is there any way to revert back to the original OS? just like iPhones..

- To install Savory I need to copy the ext3 file and the bin, then go to install update? Same question as the previous one, how can I leave the system as it was before trying anything?

Is there any sort of mode like the "DFU" recovery mode in the iPhone, in which you can restore the OS in case you mess things badly?

Thanks!!
