ANY help that anyone could give on this would be great. Thanks!

The word "jailbreak" in the context of the grayscale Kindles is just the addition of a signature certificate that allows the Kindle's updater to install the Mobileread packages.

"necessary (or additional)" - as contrasted to what?

In contrast to that available over the console serial port: NO

Directly allowing additional access: NO

Allowing after market MR packages that do give such "necessary (or additional)" access: YES
(I.E: Indirectly, yes - example: install the USBnetworking package).

Are you sharing the credit you will receive from doing your paper?
Or at least giving credit to where you are getting your answers from (when not your own effort)?

That is: "research" once meant doing the discovery work yourself, not just asking someone for the answers.
