No problem. This is my perverse idea of fun. And if you learned something, I learned more. Besides, my Sony 505 screen happens to have the same dimensions as your Kindle screen, so I can use the script too.

D'Oh. No, you can definitely delete that folder. In fact, you should, or it might mess up future runs.
I commented out the line that is responsible for deleting the temporary folder when I was testing the script (so I could see where things went wrong when they did), but then I forgot to restore the line. I'll put an update to the script above, and you can download that if you want. Or if you prefer, you can edit the script directly in a text editor. You just need to change line 136 (about 8 lines from the bottom of the file) from:
