The payload is based on yifanlu's jailbreak, with a few tweaks to make it more Touch/PaperWhite centric, and a fantastic new delivery method discovered by yossarian17.
So, as always, thanks to everyone involved in Touch & PaperWhite hacking, particularly yifanlu, ixtab, geekmaster, eureka & yossarian17.
