Hi, i got a PW2 last year and jailbroke it, it is running KUAL 2.6 and FW v5.6.5.

Can i update the FW version?

Is it worth it?

Nothing mayor, some. Screen flickering when changing the page or trying to get the top menu visible.

Im concerned because i want to download some books from amazon and dont know if i can connect it to internet or if i need to update it to get the prime benefits (kindle first or borrow books)

The "black flash" is inherent in eInk screens. It's required when erasing the screen.

There are significant differences between the 5.6.x and 5.8.x firmware. Whether of not those differences are important to you is of course a matter of personal judgement.

You should ask that question in the "Kindle Developer's Corner" forum, not here.
