But I can not repeat these for some reason. I ssh to the device ok, but there just isn't a libwebkit-1.0.so.2.5.0 or any other similar file and no /usr/share/browser/ either. Any ideas what can I be doing wrong? I don't really know much about linux commands

What you are doing is getting the cart about one light-year in front of the horse.

The first fact about Linux commands (any *nix in fact) is that complete installations have a man(ual) command.
Note: the above includes Mac OSx.

Embedded Linux (which the Kindles run) is not a complete installation (no manuals, among other things).

So first, get yourself a complete installation - both for the manuals and for a practice place (practicing as 'root' on an embedded system is a short trip to hell).

The best way would be to get a Linux LiveCD - which runs in memory without the need for installation.
My recommendation for Noobs : http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html

Very easy setup - can have "persistent storage" in the form of off-cd media (flash stick, whatever) - other people here have it to answer questions about - etc.

In addition, web search engines recognize the: man command.
So you can practice right now, with:
man find

Which will include this link:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/find

Read it.
Hope you like to read -
There is no way we at this forum can teach you the hundreds, perhaps thousands of *nix commands that you may need.
