Worth updating from 5.6.5?
Hello,
I have my PW2 since 2016 or 2017, back then I followed a guide on how to jailbreak it and I haven't touched it since then. I have Kual 2.6 and Firmware Kindle 5.6.5, I don't remember what else I installed It has been a while since I touched my Kindle, is it worth updating to something that I can keep the jailbreak? Thanks |

It is all dependent on your needs. Some useful things were added over the years:
- font boldness adjustments (added with firmware 5.8.11 IIRC) - (official) support for using custom fonts in azw3 of kfx book format (= no custom fonts for old mobi format) that was added sometimes around firmware 5.9.7. Just keep one thing in mind: before doing firmware updates you should download and install the latest version of jailbreak "hotfix" package from "snapshots" thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=225030 And then after installing firmware update again reinstall the hotfix package. |

I say yes just for added your own fonts and adjusting the weight.
