Amazon returns and jailbreaks

Lyn2012 · 12-06-2012, 11:30 AM

Hi, I'm waiting for my Paperwhite to arrive in the next few days. This will be my first Kindle having used Sony and Kobo's for years and I see that I will need to jailbreak in order to use Calibre collections. My question is this, if I jailbreak my device and subsequently decide, for whatever reason, it isn't for me, is it easy to restore the device to an unjailbroken state for return to Amazon? Of course this is assuming I need to remove the jailbreak before returning it .... is this necessary?

It's easy to restore. Just make sure to keep all of the original jailbreak files on your computer so you can use the uninstallers. This is something you want to do no matter what, as you never know when a jailbreak might interfere with an update.

Yes, you should uninstall the jailbreak before returning it. Amazon isn't going to know what you've installed on it.
