10th generation jailbroken paperwhite --- any point in upgrading firmware?

[arooni]

I forget which firmware is on this device, I can check tomorrow. I have koreader installed on it and everything is running great.

Taking a trip to a national park in a week or two and wanted to ask if there was any point in upgrading the core firmware of the device, as if I'm losing anything by not doing so. I read mostly with koreader and occasionally audible.


Thanks!

The only thing "massively" changing with new firmware is the reading interface. Which you don't use that much anyway, since you're using KOReader.
And, having a new non jailbreakable kindle and the old one, I can tell you that the new interface is way worse anyway, so no: if I were you I would stay with the fw you have.
I would get back to it, if I could.

I think you can with the downgrader plugin?

I personally prefer the new UI myself though, feels way more intuitive with the more smartphone-like controls. But I can see why people hate it.
