The non-jb announcement.
It didn't happen at 11/11/2015, 1100 UTC.
So I guess the war with Amazon will continue. Maybe B.D. can surprise them, 12/07/2015. = = = = = A guessing game now.

I quit waiting - bought Tolino Vision 2, rooted it, installed Alreader and am happy. The screen of this reader is perfect (like Vision) and lighted evenly. Why you so stuck to Amazon devices?
For anyone interested here is how I'm rooted this Tolino. http://www.lesen.net/forum/ebook-rea...342#post296342 |

I just noticed that sometime in these last days the closed-kindle jailbreak thread was un-stickied.
I believe this sounds like a silent acknowledgement of not releasing the closed-kindle jailbreak in the foreseeable future. |

I noticed it too. It was quietly dropped on the 30th of November, I first hoped that it was because there would be a 1st of December release. Quite a popular thread by the way: over 66 000 views at the time of its disappearance... I mourn it.
Meanwhile, my PW3 with a supposed "native" Koreader support stands idle in a drawer. So, is there another reason for this withdrawal? Last edited by roger64; 11-30-2015 at 11:20 PM. |

I'm still waiting patiently, all my collections still sit in amazons cloud for if the jailbreak doesn't appear but if it does i'm ready for that too.
I just hope it was removed to stop people PMing him asking when it'll be out. |

Hi
It's always good to report a mistake. The thread about the 5.6.5. jailbreak has been dropped and now is in page 4 (with over 68 000 views) at the 11.01.2015 date (it's blocked). https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...05#post3197905 My guess: we'll reach 75 000 views for Christmas. Other guess?: no ![]() Last edited by roger64; 12-04-2015 at 05:54 AM. |

Set the prefix filter to 'tools' and click 'show threads' - its still near the top of the filtered index page. Hmm... 68,000+ in about 70 days, not the rate it was when new and open for discussion. A "Holiday Shopping" effect? I.E: techie type gift givers checking the software JB status before buying for someone close? (They would like to JB the gift and add-in some extras to personalize it before or after giving.) If so, that viewing source should increase to a peak around ![]() And then drop off sharply, once it is too late to buy + JB and enhance before wrapping it up. Ah - - Now that makes it an interesting guessing game, a complex non-linear curve with unknown properties. I'll guess higher, around 90,000 by ![]() Meanwhile I'll look around here for a K5 (a model that isn't infected with the 5.6.x firmware and has audio support) in decent condition as the prize (shipping not included).

This thread should be sticked on first page, so many members can vote and the game will be more interesting
![]() My guess is around 75-90k views |

Does anyone know — did Amazon ask B.D. to hold off on release until they could get a software update out? Or did they somehow convince B.D. not to release it at all?

I have not heard any news about the status of the software JB. There are plenty of other historic dates this month that might be honored by the release of the software JB: http://www.historyplace.com/specials...r/december.htm We can hope that one of them is special enough to commemorate by the release of the software JB. = = = = My own, personal, guess, without any basis in fact, is: Amazon is slow-playing B.D. so the news of Kindle vulnerability does not affect holiday sales. |
