Looking into other options for myself, maybe I can jailbreak it.

Yes, they run android and can be rooted just like a phone. Amazon is gay af, but the kindle is a decent piece of hardware for the price once you de-amazon that thing

You're saying I don't need to though, I can just usb transfer whatevs, right?

Yeah you can usb transfer without rooting it

Do you think rooting it anyways is a good idea?

I prefer it rooted, its actually a fully functional android device, although the screen isnt well suited for some stuff. I don't want amazon deleting my books and shit, which it tends to do with downloaded epubs
