Kindle Touch Gets World's Simplest Jailbreak

Posted by Soulskill on from the music-to-amazon's-ears-i'm-sure dept.

Nate the greatest writes "Can you play an MP3 file? Then you can jailbreak the new Kindle Touch. A new hack was posted this morning that roots the Kindle Touch/K5 and opens the way for future hacks. The hacker also reveals that the K5 runs on HTML5, which should make it a lot easier to come up with new apps. Epub, anyone?"

    Wow, for the guy who thinks that in response to being offended, that one should suck it up and move on, you are not very good at it.

    I have to agree with the AC on this one: a pompous, self-righteous fuckwit. Try taking your own advice and grow a pair.
