How I Jailbroke My Kindle Paperwhite 7th Gen

Jailbreaking

I followed all the instructions from:
🔗 https://kindlemodding.org/

Added KOReader

I made changes to enable a custom screensaver:

✅ File: koreader/patches/2-i-m-not-special-need-no-offers.lua

local Device = require("device")
Device.supportsScreensaver = function() return true end
Device.powerd:initWakeupMgr()

✅ File: koreader/frontend/device/kindle/device.lua

Find the following code and change false to true:

function Kindle:supportsScreensaver()
    if self.isSpecialOffers then
        return false
