Just great! I can jailbreak my kindle read any format now...

With a binary written by someone i don't know and am forced to trust because i can't write or disassemble code. (21st century illiterate. )

Do i trust Amazon to make the kindle less user friendly and progressively more expensive with user lock-in or.. $Random programmer to be honest without anyone reviewing the source code?

I Would love the convenience of a kindle but for this question.

Maybe a website you can upload encrypted documents to...

Any ideas?

Honestly, I replied because about a decade ago looking smart was important. I've found it much easier to ask questions.
