In other words, what's the state of Kindle software jailbreaking? Dead in the water, or is there hope?

Cheesesteak, I'm not going to lie, the soldering was a bit more difficult than I anticipated, and I am VERY experienced with this kind of thing. I was surprised how small the serial port leads were on the paperwhite board. So if you decide to serial jailbreak it yourself instead of waiting for a jailbreak (if that ever happens) you will need thin wire, like an individual ethernet wire.
However It is definitely worth it! I'm so happy to have KUAL back, and access to kterm. I have a script that I wrote to delete those annoying ads (Special Offers), and without access to kterm (or a serial port putty connection), there was no way to delete the ads.
