Sorry, septuagenarian here

Dave et al,

I'm sorry, didn't get the "serial jailbreak" meaning. Google and this forum rescued me:

I don't think my wishes for a personalized screensaver and EPUB handling warrant messing with the motherboard or whatever the tweak involves.

Thanks in earnest for the help!

Also, please, can I downgrade the firmware if I download it from Amazon or elsewhere? I downloaded update_kindle_5.3.5.bin. If I apply it will it work or do I risk bricking my Kindle?
TIA,
Jorge.

PS, main reason for wanting to JB my Kindle would be adding capability to read .EPUB directly, without needing to go the Calibre way, tho there's nothing wrong with that. I've been using it since I got my 1st Kindle 3 for Xmas more than a decade ago.
