    I discovered too late that I had already updated to the latest firmware which hasn’t been cracked yet, but it turns out I didn’t have to jailbreak it at all. I just deleted my Amazon account completely, factory reset the Kindle device, never logged in with an account, and now I just keep it in airplane mode and sideload EPUB files from Calibre onto it. Works great.

      I’ve been doing this with my Kindle, and it works well too. I saw this video earlier and I think I’ll still do it because (1) I hate the popup every time I go to the library that asks me to connect to WiFi/login to account, and (2) Koreader features seem really nice. Still though, not enough of a big deal to make me do it today :P
