The new Amazon Kindle received over the holidays is already jailbreakable
Amazon Kindle are very popular and affordable, especially if you want to buy it for some book lover as a gift. They offer some flexibility, such as the ability to add books from outside Amazon’s store. But if you want more options, there is a new jailbreak called WinterBreak available.
Jailbreaking a Kindle means using a software trick to install programs that Amazon doesn’t officially allow. Making a few simple steps, you can install additional software and enjoy a wider range of file formats and features. With Jailbreaking Kindle users have chance to expand its functionality beyond what Amazon provides.
The latest jailbreak,works on Kindles from the sixth generation onward, which includes models released since 2013.
To use WinterBreak you need a computer and a Wi-Fi connection. Your Kindle must already be registered to your Amazon account. To start, you simply copy some files to your Kindle, follow a step-by-step guide, connect to the Kindle Store, and tap a few icons. In less than a minute, your Kindle will be jailbroken.
Once your Kindle is jailbroken, you can unlock new features, you can install a document reader which allows your Kindle to open more file types directly, including compressed comic book files, without needing to convert them first.
The only bad news is that Amazon may release updates to prevent jailbreaking in any moment.
