Nah. That's just the lower left corner of the home screen (at least on unregistered Kindles).

"a regular Paperwhite" is a Paperwhite with "special offers" (advertisements).

You have to pay $20 to get a Kindle without "special offers" or to have them removed. Jailbreak and "special offers" on the same device might cause problems.

Just pointing out where the link template can be found so he can follow these instructions:

If OP doesn't care about Read/Unread filter, safest is to stick to 5.10.1.3.

Note, as NiLuJe mentioned, this might just be a quirk of landscape mode. It's possible installing customer firmware wouldn't fix anything.

The update link takes you to a URL which has the firmware version embedded in that URL. If you don't want the latest version, you need to change that part of the URL to the version you want.

You probably do no want 5.12.1, because it contains code hostile to jailbreak.
