I jailbroken Colorsoft Signature Edition during Winter Break.
The jailbreak was successful even after updating to 5.18.6.
MRPI and KUAL continue to work after re-installing the hotfix.
Thank you.

As far as I was aware, you can't purchase an ad supported Kindle in Brazil. I'm in Canada and one friend of mine tried to get ads enabled on his Kindle to use Ad Break and the support person (Amazon Canada) said that was not possible for customers not living in the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy or Spain.

When I click the link, I see no directions on how to enable ads.

They are in the top post. I copy it here:

Quote:
(THIS WORKS AS OF OCTOBER 4TH, OFW 5.18.5.0.1)

For some reason, **if your kindle account is registered to amazon.com, you won't get ads even if you activate them**. However, **it's different if your account is registered to amazon.fr** (for some unknown reason), and after getting your ads you can do Adbreak as usual.

What I did was go to amazon.com and change my region and payment info to an address in France; after that, I went to the "Devices" tab, and then I had a new option to migrate my account to Kindle France. After selecting that option, all my devices showed up in amazon.fr instead of amazon.com. Just to be sure, I also changed my Scribe default language to French. I reboot, and...

*Voilà!*

The option to have ads now appear on the settings. After that, I followed up the guide on kindlemodding.org

I think this is an interesting option for Colorsoft users to try, as I understand that model has a similar problem showing ads. I don't know why this happens, but I have Koreader on my Scribe now.

*Merci beaucoup* to <@362641685844590605> for being the first to prove that the scribe could be adbroken, to <@1342238956661641239> for developing this break, to the rest of the dev team for all the work done, and to <#1382486943169777675> and <#1332770457954549903> regulars for the neverending hope lol

AMAZING. Finally, a reason to dust off the Kindle Paperwhite 3 or so, THANK YOU! I'm remembering how to read again.
