I was hoping that OP was in NZ so I would see it now haha
Would this work on OSX? Is it some sort of perl script or something? By the way thanks BD, been waiting for this for half a year already!! |

Luckily I've got a slow rig with an up-to-date elementary OS build. I'm kinda glad that the 5.7.2 update failed for my shiny new PW3 (bad file apparently).

My screensaver will be an artistic photo of a mayonnaise bottle. Those pencils are driving me crazy.

Sorry for my ignorance, but why will I need to jailbreak using a LinuxOS?
Also, does this jailbreak remove ads? |

No, it will not remove ads. Check the forum rules. Pay to remove them or live with them.

Quick question -- it's been a while since I registered a new Kindle. Assuming my KV arrives tonight with 5.6.5 (fingers crossed), how do I turn it on and register without it beginning to search for and do the over-the-air update? Can I even turn it on to confirm the software (it's the Wifi/3g model)? Does anyone recall the process our good friends at Amazon take you through at the beginning? Thanks!

You don't have to register it right away. Just don't turn on wifi.

Other than maybe wrapping it in aluminum foil before turning in on - - You can hope they don't distribute updates via 3G. I am pretty sure they stopped doing OTA over 3G after they stopped updating the 3G-only series 2 devices (K2, DX, DXG). Wifi you can deal with - Keep it out of range of a Wifi connection (or be faster than the download) - Power it up - Set the language - It will lead you into the 'finish setup' series of panels - watch near the bottom of the screen for 'complete setup later' message in about 1pt type (very tiny print) - Use that selection (the 'later' thing) - Now do the usual "enable Airplane mode" routine. "Airplane mode" disables Wifi AND 3G |

OTA distribution of 5.7.2 isn't likely to start for several weeks yet.
