But that caused bricked kindles from too many books. That "system partition" is the "persistent user store partition" (/dev/mmcblk0p3 mounted at /var/local) and it is only 30MB and has other large files on it too (including the system log files that keep growing). Restarting the kindle bricks it if that partition is full, which should not happen with well-written code... A lot of these "too many books" bricked kindles did NOT have jailbreak or hacks installed. This is one of the main reasons why we put so much time and research into creating the "simple debricking" Dev Corner sticky thread.
