Can you “jailbreak” the Kindle?
Posted on July 7, 2011Yes you can. Detailed step by step instructions are found here (howtogeek.com). More info on jailbreaking here.
Most people do this so they can customise the screensaver (to remove the famous authors / personalities and put their own pics in). The jailbreak also lets you do a number of other hacks to the device.
In summary, if you want USB networking, new screensavers or new fonts, this may be for you, otherwise don’t really bother.
