Got my Paperwhite 5 and I'm really loving this thing. (Running Alpine w/ Chromium for giggles)
From here, the image is a bit outdated tho (2019), you can build a newer image myself but I haven't bothered with it since it's more of a proof of concept thing. All 300 PPI Kindle devices with 2.5GB of storage free/512MB should work fine (so Voyage, PW3-PW5, Oasis 1-3, etc) Just drop this in your /extensions/ folder, assuming you've done all the Jailbreak work required. Also don't plug the device into a PC when you're using Alpine as that can corrupt the data partition and potentially bricking your Kindle. Sign out of Alpine (which will prompt a system restart automatically) first.
