There's also a 5.6.5 closed jailbreak, which is worth looking into. This jailbreak method might work for PW2 as well, but probably not for PW3/4. This post assumes you already have Calibre installed, which is very easy to do from their site. I've listed the order of actions needed, with links to the relevant detailed MobileRead threads. The end result is a very smooth way to organise your ebooks using Calibre, where you can tag each book/multiple books (either individually, or drag-and-dropping to the tag name), then create the collection and sync it through LibrarianSync. I went the route of using LibrarianSync instead of Collection Manager (which will be a different series of requirements) to use Kindle Collections, since I couldn't get the latter to work for some reason. It does, however, take a lot of digging through MobileRead forum posts and diving down the rabbit hole of links, which can take a lot of time.Įspecially if you're starting from scratch, there's a lot of dependencies for extensions/installers/etc needed to get to the end result. tar.gz files, but most of it is downloading, dragging, and dropping files).

It isn't particularly hard, nor does it require lots of technical know-how (you need to be able to extract. Thought this information might be useful for someone out there! Today was my first foray into jailbreaking my old PW1, mainly for managing collections outside of Kindle's very slow UI.
