Seriously, am I the only who knows about Yifan Lu's kindletool?

Never used kindletool. I suppose I should. I was mounting and comparing before-and-after partition images.
The reason I asked amazon to release a full update was so I would have an official source to repopulate a reformatted partition, instead of a clandestine backup image. Their legal department never did get back to me on my request for written permission to distribute a backup image. Now I do not need to.
I tired very hard to convince them that partial backups were BAD, and I believed at that time that I DID convince them. And this update appears to be proof of that...
And now, still waiting for a K4NT full update package...
