Regarding jailbreaking Kindle - be sure to read the most recent followup
comments on those web pages.

Pages like this looked promising with its "2017" in the title:
https://www.epubor.com/how-to-jailbreak-kindle-paperwhite.html

But reading the comments shows that it doesn't work on recent firmware:

As far as I know, there is no way to jailbreak Kindle Firmware 5.8.8 and
higher. If there will be any solution in the future, I will update
immediately.

I have a PW3 with a Firmware V. 5.8.9 and a SN: G090 G1.

I tried to copy the 5.7.4 firmware into the root folder but the PW3 erases
it immediately after. Impossible at the moment to do the downgrade in my
device. :-(

My Paperwhite is version 5.8.10.
