Lightbulb Jailbreaking the Kindle 4 and other issues

Hello everyone,

I just got my hands on the new Kindle and was wondering about a few things.

1) Do the jailbreaking tips relating to the kindle 3 apply to the kindle 4? I want to change the font.

2) Is there a way to change the fonts on Mac OS X without jailbreaking? The tips I've seen so far on these forums are all for PC.

3) Can Amazon monitor your personal docs or anything that's on your Kindle? I use it to store some very proprietary information and I don't want any problems.

4) Is there any risk of bricking your device when jailbreaking?

5) Could you name some of your favorite fonts to use on a Kindle?

Thank you for your time and comprehension

regards

1) ans: No, you must use specific file for specific kindle
2) Yes, you can change the fonts like in this forum
3) Who knows? But I don't think so.
4) If you follow the instuctions carefully, I think there is no risk
5) My favorite fonts is 'Mercurius CT'
