Horsepower and all that.
You probably did (which would mean the image wasn't "running" - no dynamic entries).

Since you only run small commands on the Kindle, like:
"make libwebkit"
(for those readers who haven't been following - that command took days to complete)

For serious searching of things -
After making a PC local copy of the kindle image -

Go through the image and expand all compressed filesystems and *.jar files into their corresponding file trees.
THEN 'grep -r your_hearts_content' (or whatever).

Dressing up the grep command with a few more options, and it will even search for strings in the binary files.
