However, you might be talking about something different. So: There are AFAIK the following stores in the Kindles (all of them):
- A few fuses, set only before shipping, with some very basic boot configuration
- Initial Boot ROM, not changeable, in the SoC
- an eMMC, i.e. a chip with memory that behaves just like a MMC device, which stores extended bootloader, boot configuration, kernel, root filesystem and document filesystem. It's flash memory.
Not sure if the SoC has a small EEPROM part.

From what I read, the mmc first 1KB maps directly into CPU address space on power up, and that is one of the places the SoC looks for bootloader code, so that is the first user-configurable code that runs on the kindle at boot. No EEPROM on the kindle, AFAIK.
