According to your PM, you want Coolreader because it has an option to turn of the front light. HackedupReader doesn't have that option so that will be a waste of time.

I think KUAL with the Frontlight toggle extension is a better option:

Download the prerequisites-all-supported-devices.zip from that post. Extract the file update_k5_ALL_PW_ALL_kindlet_jailbreak_install.bin, place it on the root of your Kindle, Menu > Settings > Menu > Update- Just like the Jailbreak bin.

Download KUAL.V.0.4.zip, extract KindleLauncher-2.0.azw2 and place it in the documents folder on your Kindle.

Last step:

Download FLoff.zip, place the contents of that zip- the folder named FrontLight- in a folder named extensions on the root of your kindle.

Launch KUAL, It should be on your kindle home page along with your other documents/books. Once KUAL is running, the Toggle buttons should be available to you.
