A thought and a two questions,
The thought: Because this is possible, I believe the forum should strongly encouraged that Kindlets be released with their source. Otherwise, it would not take very much malicious code to really screw up someone's Kindle.
And the questions: Will the Kindlet Jailbreak allow me to use sockets for networking? And, does the Kindlet Jailbreak work on non-jailbroken devices?
As for the second, I am sure Amazon would quickly revoke any developer that used it for a public release.
Thanks!

The "trust" issue is the same everywhere. If you don't trust someone, don't install his/her programs
That said, you can build your own safety net while developing by requesting very specific permissions (e.g., write permissions for a particular directory only, instead of AllPermissions), so you don't accidentally screw up.
Concerning sockets: I never tried, but it should work. You may also need to extend SuicidalKindlet (instead of AbstractKindlet) in order to escape the restricted Kindlet Class Loader - see KUAL, JBPatch, or Collections Manager sources for examples.
To install the Kindlet jailbreak, your device has to be jailbroken in the first place. So no, it won't work on stock FWs.
