Though for my purposes the extra 0 was no big deal. It just means it is <1% rather than slightly > 1%. I think I got those symbols correct.
I could believe 1% of sales.

Another factoid:
The PW3 is 1/3 of the total.

I must not be the only one that thinks the PW3 is the "best value for the price" of the various models.

Thanks for the factoid. It's just I don't want the light.
So 1% across all kindles sounds right to you?

I figure maybe another 1% cleans their books. Do you think that sounds right?

That would be an awful lot of jail broken Kindles.
I **think** they sell in the millions.

But all of the things here are 'no cost' and such things get passed around from friend to friend a lot.
We only hear from the people who have problems.
(With the rare exception.)

I have actually purchased from sites like EBay used Kindles that arrived already jail broken (and evidently the seller didn't know about it).

Thanks for the input. It is appreciated. Last time I looked there were roughly 50 million kindles.

My best deal was a PW-1 "Not working, for parts only" -
Its only problem was a bad custom screensaver image (which I deleted) and then pushed the 'reboot' button.
That one has been working just fine for the last three years.

Complete Step #1, answer your own question.
Reread the bold font sentence again if uncertain.

Find that row again, even if some of the characters are in bold.
What does it say in the right hand column?

Thanks, it worked "as silk". Paperwhite 3 user, copied /documents to PC, did all the process just as is said at first page, updated manually to 5.8.5 (I was at that version before beginning the process) and copied back /documents. Bookmarks and last page survived, nice! Only problem is that collections "fucked up" but no problem because now I can use callibre collections plugin!.
Is there and index or something like that with all the hacks? (collections, screen saves,...)

Nope, at least not a current one.

Try:
Use the prefix filter to give yourself different thread lists.
Use the sticky 'master index' (A.K.A: "Where do I start").
