Update: I am no longer working on this project. I ended up breaking my Kindle because I'm an idiot. I am still accepting pull requests, but I am unable to test them, so please make sure that your code is stable. Thanks, lovelies!

Jailbreak your Kindle.
Jailbreaking your Kindle allows non-Amazon applications to run on your Kindle. In order to Jailbreak your device you need a Paperwhite 2 or 3, Kindle Touch 2 or 3, Kindle Voyage or Kindle Oasis. I'm using a Kindle Touch 3.
Follow the steps below to jailbreak your device.
-
Reset your device:
To do this, go to settings and click the menu button (
☰ or ⋮) in the top right-hand corner, it should look like this:
Please note: Resetting your device involves removing all your books, saved passwords and documents, so make sure to backup anything you don't have stored in the cloud. This process may take a while, so go grab a beverage of your choice. 🍹

Downgrade your Kindle's operating system.
Before you do anything, you need to figure out which model of Kindle you have. Use the table below to find your model number using your serial number.
To find your serial number, just grab your Kindle, head to the Settings page
Menu > Settingsthen tapMenu > Device Info. Once you have you model number, it's time to downgrade your Kindle.
