I was starting to panic about doing the book without screenshots! The member who posted found it at Len Edgerly's Kindle Chronicles website. I don't know if Len figured it out on his own or someone told him.

And that's the whole truth.

Thanks for sharing that!

Now, do you (or one of your sources, hehe...) happen to have some secret knowledge about how the Paperwhite can be put into USB downloader or fastboot mode?

(that info would be tremendously appreciated in the developers' forum... because it can be a lifesaver if the Kindle happens to turn into a "brick"* for some reason)!

(*) unofficial definition of "bricked": unable to boot, so essentially useless, because utterly broken
