OK, so this confirms my suspicions, thanks! I read a couple of news articles about that and they all said that Amazon was selling the PW2 with 300 dpi. So they probably mixed up models...
EDIT: but the model number on the device is DP75SDI ... are you sure there never was such a version?
And for the jailbreak, I must have done 3 factory resets after that and it was still jailbroken (and it is still now). Also, I rebooted two or three times after each factory reset to see if nothing was missing or was broken. But KUAL, kterm, USBNetwork and KOReader installed just fine and I have root access to the Kindle. So maybe it is specific to the jailbreak involved?
Also, what does a "reset" does? Does it just remove the files in /var/local + /mnt/us and it ends there?
EDIT: is there a way to prevent the Kindle from updating away from 5.6.5 other than airplane mode? I don't need the lab126 services to be running, I'd just want to get an Alpine chroot running on this thing...
anyways thanks for the reply, and I hope that soon I'll have a better understanding of how the device works now that I've got one, as I do with the Kobos
