Popcorn

Popcorn is a hardware jailbreak which works on any firmware on supported hardware.

Popcorn only works on the following models: - PW3 - KV - KT2 - PW2 - KT3

The Kindle Voyage (KV) is compatible with `WatchThis` on every firmware released for it. It is not recommended to use `Popcorn` when possible.

Popcorn is quite a sophisticated jailbreak method and requires prior electronics experience. It is not recommended to use Popcorn unless you have prior electronics experience *especially* if a software jailbreak such as `WatchThis` is available for it.
