If you enable the k3's password (I don't know dx or other kindles), when you plug in the usb, it will not go into "drive" mode until you enter the password.
Just today (this site or another???) someone mentioned that on the "hidden" partition, Amazon keeps some info (that's the linux drive) but I did not follow that conversation. I have no idea if they do keep stuff or not. You can only get to the linux stuff by using some arcane hacks further discussed in the Developers' forum.
