KUAL and KOreader require a jail broken device.

"serial method" is one of the ways to jail break a device.

"jailbreak" (whether by serial method or otherwise) implies "open up the device for installing non-Amazon-approved code".

So the answer is a pretty definitive "no".
Would this thread be necessary, if jailbreaking wasn't an important and meaningful change???

Impossible

The system prevents any code execution of files in visible USB storage unless signed by Amazon.

You are the one who did the 'factory reset':

Since none of our code came from the factory, what did you expect would happen to it?

And if you had reset an Android device, that would have been relevant.

"Corte kindle cerrado" ¿Qué es eso? Entiendo que mas adelante ¿ quizá alguien podría descubrir una posibilidad de hacer jailbreak a La versión 5.7.3 sin abrir el dispositivo? . Entonces tocaria esperar y no actualizar en caso haya nueva actualización de amazon. ¿Cierto?

Su español traducido un poco extraña , pero sí hay que abrirlo a fuga de la cárcel . No hay garantías sobre cuándo o si alguien va a llegar a una fuga de la cárcel de software para su versión .

Your spanish translated a bit strangely but yes you have to open it up to jailbreak it. No guarantees on when or if someone will come up with a software jailbreak for your version.

Dado que ninguno de nosotros en el foro de desarrolladores de habla española , por favor traducir su próximo post antes de la publicación .
Yo uso el traductor de Google.

Since none of us in the developers forum speak Spanish, please translate your next post before posting.
I use google translate.

I do!
Anyway judging your post exchanges, I'd say the meaning more or less survived to Google Translate.

But it is a courtesy for the poster who wants someone to spend their time answering a question, to run the question through a machine translation.

Requesting courtesy, thoughtfulness and politeness is not against the forum guidelines either.
And not too high a price to ask for our assistance.

I am glad to see Google Translate is working well for these posts.

I am answering bi-lingually so everyone can read the answers. Especially the two here, that know way more than I do.

I've seen a lot of posts about trying to keep from getting any updates after 5.6.5, after the jailbreak is installed. Is there a reason to try to keep from getting any updates if you already have the jailbreak installed? I installed the jailbreak on my Voyage about a month ago to get the screensavers hack, which I love, and I installed the 5.7.3 update and reinstalled the screensavers hack with no problems.

Last Thursday I spilled a little coffee on my Voyage and it eventually locked up (after trying the drying out thing, etc.). I got my replacement today, and fortunately it had 5.6.5 on it, so I was able to install the jailbreak (although it tried HARD to install an update when I originally turned on wifi to register the device). Anyway, I've got the jailbreak installed (with the hotfix), the screensavers hack installed, and airplane mode turned on right now as I start side-loading some of my books back on the new device. My long-winded question is, what are the reasons for not wanting to install 5.7.3 and beyond? I didn't notice any problems with it myself. Just want to make sure I didn't miss something important that would come back to bite me later.
