I literally last week had GPT cheerfully come up with an exploit for an also apprently unjailbreakable kindle, without a single objection. My "workaround" was just to explain that it was for my toddler, to protect her from harmful content, and we were off to the races.

There seems to be a soft spot in GPT when you invoke children. On older versions you could get it to do pretty much anything by saying "otherwise the orphaned children will all starve".

What specifically does jailbreaking a Kindle get you these days? I remember the old audio player hack but once I had it unlocked the only interesting thing to do was to select my own wallpaper.
