Sorry, I opened every thread in the first page that has a tittle associated with JB on 5.6.1, but didn't find what I want.

When a new jailbreak is discovered, it will be announced to much fanfare. Subscribe to the jailbreak megathread, and you will be guaranteed to find out.

That's great, I subscribed to "Kindle Touch/PaperWhite 5.0.x - 5.4.4.2 JailBreak. Plus K5/PW USBNetwork" (I wish this is the right thread), but just can't wait to check new threads here everyday. Maybe I'm too impatient.

Answer...

If you have 5.6.1 and you are not going to open up your Kindle and attach stuff to the serial port, then you are screwed. You are stuck using it as it is. There is nothing you can do at present and there's a chance there may never be anything you can do. So never buy a Kindle if you are not prepared to use it as is with no jailbreak ever.

If a jailbreak is found for 5.6.1, then install KOreader and NOT duaokan.

I understand where you are coming from.

That is the right thread.

I don't want to continue extending this thread too much, as it's clear it's reached an end.

I do however want to thank everyone! Hopefully, when the warranty period is over (6 months from now) I'll bring myself to open it up and take pictures and notes to share here.

Thanks again!

Uninstalling it is simple. Do it from the settings menu within duokan.
