				Beginner looking for advice on how to jailbreak Kindle Paperwhite
			 
			
			
			I have no experience with jailbreaking, so consider me a beginner to this whole process. I would like to be able to track how long I read (as I outlined in this post), and someone said I need to jailbreak and install koreader. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	I have two kindles. 1) B024 Kindle PaperWhite WiFi - with firmware 5.6.1.1 2) G090G1 Kindle PaperWhite 3 (2015) WiFi - with firmware 5.12.4 I have found a few articles about jailbreaking from HowToGeek and LifeHacker. Both describe slightly different processes. Is there one that I should follow over the other? Or is there another method entirely that is better? Basically just wondering what the next step to take is. Thanks!  |

			Unfortunately you can jailbreak your PW1 (B024) only.
