Assuming you can burn a CD/Tweak an USB stick without the world coming to an end from your OS POV .
My sense of the issue is that there is some missing file on the Kindle. However, even when I restore that infected file back to the Kindle (from the AVG's Virus Vault, I can't open the Kindle.

It seems to me that the best way would be to install Kindle's current software version into my Kindle, assuming of course that I can load 2.5.3 on top of 2.5.3.

I've already copied my Documents folder (in other words, all my books) from my Kindle onto my laptop.
