Unsure of model and how to Jailbreak

Hi! I'm new to the forums. I'm unsure of the model of Kindle I acquired recently and how to jailbreak it.

It's 6", white, no buttons except the power/sleep button, and does NOT have a serial number on the back. The serial number starts with G000 KA05 XXXX XXXX. Firmware version 5.12.1. Wifi Capable (Not 3G).

My research says it the following model...

Kindle E-reader (Previous Generation - 8th) - Black, 6" Display, Wi-Fi, Built-In Audible - Includes Special Offers

Found here... https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle...017JG41PC?th=1

Someone said something about it being the New Kindle Version 2016? It's NOT a PW3 as far as I can tell.

Just trying to find the right page with info on how to jailbreak. I want the Kindle to be wht "I need", not what Amazon wants it to be. HAHA.

Thanks!

(Which should be referenced as the first thing in any posted jail break procedure. Those are OUR names for the devices, which should make sense, since we are the provider's of most add-ins.)

Thanks! I really appreciate it. I try to do my research before I post. Thanks again.
