You can download it from its repository on github.

Put the hackedreader directory under the extensions directory and then execute the following line on the command line:

mntroot rw; cat /mnt/us/extensions/hackedupreader/hackedupreader.policy >>/usr/java/lib/security/java.policy ; mntroot ro; killall cvm
This is needed as the java code of the extension needs to be allowed to run the HackedUpReader program and read the documents directory to build the menu.

After the Kindle has restarted, you get a new HackedUpReader menu entry in the launcher menu. Under this entry you'll find directories and supported files.
I don't have the time to test it right now, but just a quick shot: did you try putting the .jar file into /opt/amazon/ebook/lib instead of /mnt/us/extensions?

This would still require access to the root FS, but at least one doesn't need to *modify* Amazon's files, but just add/remove files.
