Your "Windows-Think" is showing.

These Kindles do not run Windows, they run a version of Unix (Linux in this case).

Only Windows (automatically, as part of its default search algorithm,) expects resources to be in the same directory as the executable.

Having either the current directory or the directory of the executable included in the search algorithm by default is considered a security fault.
Although *nix binaries can be created at build time that will do that as part of the default searches.
