You will not find that in the Amazon source code.

Amazon sees source code in three categories:
1) Open source whose license requires the source used to be distributed.
2) Open source whose license does not require (but allows) the source used to be distributed.
3) Close source, I.E: proprietary.

"Amazon source code" bundle includes only #1 above. Although the Kindle firmware contains all three categories of code.

The "experimental browser" is a (limited feature) build of the web-kit browser.
You will have to look for how that feature is implemented in the files on your Kindle related to the browser.

The Kindle Touch and the Kindle Paperwhite use very similar software.
You might also want to look in the Kpw-5.3.6 firmware version for how they do the (new) "click to buy" feature.

Note: Don't post copyrighted, proprietary, files here without permission of the copyright holder.
Descriptions of how to find/modify such software is ok here, as is replacement software that you create yourself.
