I do have a Kindle 3, but won't be having time for creating a backup of /bin until tomorrow. I'll get back to you then.
Great advice. Do not try to restart it at this point. Keep it charged.

Why?
The restarting of a Linux system uses many of those "broken" utilities in /bin
And it does not sound like that would work properly at this point.
