new kindle pw5 with factory version 5.16.7
Hello all,
i just bought the new kindle paperwhite 2024 (11th gen, PW5, G002 DK), which came with factory firmware 5.16.7. I searched in the forums and could not find any mention to this version, therefore I post here. Please let me know if this has been already discussed and I will gladly withdraw this post. Since there are limitations to languagebreak post 5.16.2.1.1, should I wait for a new jailbreak on any given future or return the new kindle and keep my PW4? I bought it based on the 17 leds and warm color configuration, expecting a smoother reading experience, but if no kual/koreader can be installed in any future landscape, makes no sense the upgrade. Please advise. Thank you in advance. |

well, just wanted to know if there is anyone working on it or is there any ETA. it is either way not my place to ask/request/put pressure in no one.
in any case is still possible (not ideal) to convert epubs with calibre or use kindle without jb. so not a full waste, just a nuisance. I will keep the kindle in factory form, in the hopes one day comes a new solution. |

The PW4 screen side by side with PW3 is slightly greyer under ambient light, but otherwise you'd never notice the difference. Not like looking through fog.
