I am making images from my "new-in-box" K3-wifi. After charging, it changed the display from the factory/shipping screen to a welcome screen. After plugging it into my linux host PC, it opened the "welcome to your new kindle" ebook (or whatever it was called), without even touching the power switch.

I did not have much luck with nbd so far. It has been many years since I last used nbd. On linux mint, my nbd-client wants IP, port, and device. When k3flasher exports nbd, it does not give a device name.

For now, I am dumping mmc from 0 for 0xfffffe0 bytes (4GB minus one sector) to a file instead.

Other than not figuring out how to use nbd, k3flasher seems to be working fine so far.
