    I looked up long time ago about rooting my paperwhite gen 10 but couldn’t find anything. Care to share if you have some links?

      The 10th generation Paperwhite is known as the Paperwhite 4 (PW4). I have one and I jailbroke it many years ago. I’ve even accidentally uninstalled the jailbreak and was able to re-jailbreak it.

      Read all of this very carefully. Make sure that your firmware version is 5.14.2 or earlier.

      Then read (again, carefully) about this jailbreak method and follow the installation instructions.

          I don’t know since I’m not on that version. You can take a look around the MobileRead forums in the Development section and see if you can find information on that. It also depends on which device you have.

          I’m not involved with developing the jailbreaks so I can’t really give you more info than that. There’s also some jailbreak info outside of MobileRead too.
