Should I Jailbreak Kindle Touch 4?

I have the Kindle Touch 4 and I was just wondering if it would be worth it to jailbreak it? What all would it allow me to do?

It's pretty easy to jailbreak (at least the older devices like ours) and there aren't any real downsides.

What I like:
screensavers hack -- my Kindle is NOT special offers, so I would rather the screensaver be the cover of my currently-open book.
You don't need LibrarianSync/CM, your Kindle can have collections managed via calibre even without a jailbreak.

Font hack -- some people actually care about fonts, I don't. If you do, this gives you control over the fonts for your book.

Sounds pretty cool. Would I be able to disable ads with the jailbreak?
