Thanks. Another full o/s image, I see, rather than a patch.

Do you have a comic book? It says optimization for image viewing.

There's a similar thread in the Kindle Developer's Corner.

It seems that ixtab's jailbreak still works after the update.

No. I've never "jail broken" any device I've owned, and I've no intention of starting now .

I just upgraded my PW to 5.3.3 but still have that bug where I cannot run Active Content. I had reported that to the KIndle Paperwhite Development Team back on Dec 1, 2012. Oh well.

I will just have to rely on all my Kindle Apps running on my KFHD7-32.

Yes, it works, but you can not install jailbreak on the device with a new firmware.

Why doesn't Amazon let hackers to make our lives easier? There is LOTS of functionality that I miss on my Paperwhite and that hackers provide.

So if I'm going to jailbreak my paperwhite, I need to do it before the update?

I'm still back and forth on jailbreaking. On the one hand, I want to have better collections management; on the other, I'm terrified that I'll ruin the PW.

You won't ruin your PW by merely jailbreaking it. There are probably hundreds of thousands of jailbroken Kindles out there, and none of them just turns into a brick because it's jailbroken...

You simply shouldn't do stuff that you don't understand on a jailbroken device (just like you shouldn't simply delete random files on your computer if you don't know what they're good for). But using the pre-packaged hacks and following the instructions, you won't harm your Kindle.

Anyway, this is probably getting off-topic for this forum. You're welcome to join the "sister thread" in the dev subforum

Hmm. What happened to 5.3.2 for the PW? Mine displays 5.3.1. Was 5.3.2 reserved for the KTouch recently or have I been asleep? :what:
