Jailbreaking Your Kindle

Jailbreaking a Kindle:

  • Allows devs to create system modifications or extensions to extend the functionality of the device further.
  • Also allows for the development of custom homebrew to run on the Kindle
  • Why not?

What Can I do?

As a user, this gives you access to:

  • Custom screensavers
  • Custom fonts on firmwares that do not support it
  • Homebrew such as apps, games and more
  • Downgrading your firmware

Please be aware of the risks of jailbreaking before you jailbreak your Kindle including, but not limited to:

  • Potentially voiding the Kindle’s waranty
  • Bricking (permanently breaking) the device
  • Security Risks

Always jailbreak at your own risk. If you don’t know what you are doing or are unsure, don’t do it.
