Help with Duokan && Jailbreak on Kindle Paperwhite 5.6.1.0.6

elenderg · 06-10-2015, 01:54 PM

I'm Elender, from Altamira, Pará - Brazil. (no, I'm not a HUE BR) I have bought a Kindle Paperwhite (wifi model) yesterday and it is my only reading device.
the firmware version of my kindle is 5.6.1.0.6. my objective was to read Epub and PDF files. is it possible to install duokan on my kindle? how?

already downloaded it from official site (no, I don't speak chinese), extracted and copied to kindle root folder (followed tutorials on the web), but the "Updade your Kindle" button is not available. i have already tried older versions of duokan too, but it did not work.

another option would be KOreader, but it requires jailbreak, and as long as i know it's impossible jailbreak that version of kindle. Am i right?
can someone help me?

obs:sorry if wrong area for posting, or if there's a solution in other topic. But I just did not found it.

As you have already discovered, Duokan also requires a jailbreak (but it is bundled with Duokan itself, and is incompatible with ours).

I recently stickied a thread with a guide to jailbreaking over the serial port, which is something you might want to try, assuming you are comfortable using a hardware-based jailbreak at least.

Once jailbroken you can install KOReader at least.
