What is the latest kual supported kindle Paperwhite/oasis?

vila · 06-02-2022, 03:27 PM

Recently my PW2 broke after years of almost daily use, so I started looking online to buy a new one.

After searching for a while I couldn't find a list online of each kindle generation and their latest firmware version.

I would like a kindle model which is old enough that it doesn't get updated anymore and with a firmware below 5.14.2 for jailbreaking.

What do you recommend?

thank you for reading

Why not get a newer model with a jailbreakable firmware and install the KUAL extension that blocks updates by renaming the OTA update program files?

Here is the list from Amazon that shows the latest firmwares. It's the first result on Google if you search for "kindle firmware"

If you want a modernish device that won't update, Voyage is probably your best bet. You can get a used one for around $50 on Unclaimed Baggage. However, I agree with j.p.s. that you should probably just get a new model and block OTA updates using the renameotabin extension.
