can i update a JB PW2?
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 to the latest?

Is it worth it?

Yes.
Worth it? It does not cost anything.
Other than that, "worth it" is a subjective question that only you can answer.

Plus, you can go back to 5.6.5 if you want to.

Only use the firmware from your model's amazon page (6th gen, PW2).

You need Paperwhite 6th gen firmware. 5th gen is a PW1.
