Kubrick 3.5 is here!

There's a new (optional) feature to reformat the USB drive, available for K4 and K5 devices. This will probably help in various circumstances, the most common one being the ability to (hopefully) completely revert a borked Duokan installation attempt (which messes up pretty much everything on the Kindle)

By reinstalling the firmware and discarding both the internal and external storage, you can now use Kubrick to revert any K4 or K5 to a "totally virgin" state.

In addition, there have been a few changes to the UI, which will hopefully make Kubrick easier to understand for newbies, and a few other improvements, mostly under the hood.
