I deleted the old one.
One thing I noticed in reading the blog about using it - -
The user needs 'EDITOR=' set in the kTerm environment.

It could be that only 1 of the first 5 people figured that one out.

You might mention that requirement (having 'EDITOR=' set to the editor intend to be used in the kTerm environment) if you intend to edit any of the entries.

Edit:
Another possible 'gotcha' if using nano for the editor on the Kindles -
Kindles are utf-8 devices -
nano depends on ncurses -
ncurses needs a special configuration / build to handle utf-8 (the utf-8 version is ncursesw).

The above information borrowed from the Buildroot mailing list (which is broken at the moment, but they will be fixing nano/ncurses(w) RSN).
