Kindle PW2 capacities

sadegh · 02-12-2015, 04:37 PM

I am going to buy Kindle pw2 (I hope I didnt mistake the name)

I wanted to ask if I can do this 2 main task completely?:

1. view pdf without facing a crash (seems latest update solve the problem of crashing while viewing a pdf)

2. Play some "active content" type of games : examples :Pbchess
Amazon : Hidden object
(hope it wont force me to downgrade to unstable versions leading to crash while viewing pdf)

Did I ask too much?

Yes, active content will work, although if you intend to use our hacked active content, you naturally need to jailbreak... which might not be an option, depending on what firmware the device ships with.
The first thing you MUST do when receiving your Kindle, is to keep it offline and install the jailbreak, before you can get hit with an over-the-air upgrade to the latest 5.6.x firmware!

PDFs will be much more readable if you use the KOReader alternative reader -- I can't say how well the builtin one works (I don't use it

) but definitely not as well.

Crush? Do you mean crash?
