Too late lol...
I went ahead and applied the golden update by pablob. Well that went fine. But ummmm...hehehehehe, this is where I'd like to face palm myself hard then cry. When trying to test if I got the full functionality back to the reader side, I find that I cannot get past the calibration screen. Boy howdy, I'm going to have to rip my room apart to see where that stylus may have went. I should have just left well enough alone until tomorrow and maybe more responses, but that's not in my nature. I have a problem, I will tinker and tinker with it until I fully break something or actually luck up and fix it.
Until then, I guess I'll have to go back to my smaller (uuuug that screen is sooo small compared to my PE and it's predecessor fat butted cat broken Kindle) Sony to read my books. Pray the literary gods still like me somewhat and magically produce a neon arrow pointing to where the orignal stylus may have went.
