That should work on any eink kindle model. At this time, simple debricking (flashing firmware images with USB) only works on K3/K4/K5, so the DX needs to use the old serial port method at this time.

The issue I have with this is that the purchaser of a demo Kindle does not have a licence to use the "normal" firmware, and hence this very likely constitutes copyright infringement. But that is of course not a technical matter, but a matter for the conscience of the owner of the Kindle.
