Hi,

I currently have three Paperwhites (6‘‘ and 6.8‘‘) with FW versions 5.13.6 and and 5.14.2, all of them rooted (I use KOReader for PDF reading).

I like the GUI of 5.14.2. better, but the Calibre support for collections/series is broken.

Since now there is a method for rooting newer firmware versions, would there be a newer one suited to my needs (i.e., new interface, working collections), or should I simply stay with the current versions of the firmware?

Cheers, Joachim
