Jailbreak Kindle PW2 5.6.1

Hello,
I have a new Kindle Paperwhite running 5.6.1
It has never been jailbroken but I would like to do so in order to run customer screensavers and organise collections via Calibre.
Is there a way to do this?
My googling so far suggests it's not possible.
Thanks,

Google is sort-of correct in this case.

There is currently no "closed Kindle" jailbreak for 5.6.1

You can jailbreak the Kindle using a connection to the operator's console, serial port (an "open(ed) Kindle" jaibreak).

You can find posts here on the details.
