Jailbreaking the PW V2
Well, looks like bad news...
I just got the latest Paperwhite (V2) which comes with firmware version 5.4.0.
I sideloaded the 5.3.1 update file to prepare for jailbreaking but "Update Your Kindle" is grayed out so I can't install it.

Here's a question... what do you think would happen if I tried to copy over a saved image file from my PW v1 to the new v2 (using dd protocol)? Any chance it would brick it? I am trying not to attempt this just because I can.
[Added Later Still]
Got a message from ixtab saying don't do it... brick-alert! Just passing this on folks.
