However, I have another question for your infinite Kindle-related wisdom! I can't cd into most of the /opt/ subdirectories. Do you know why? It's really frustrating because I just discovered that there's a package manager for the Kindle ( https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=118472) but I can't install it! |
Please do not do that on a PW2 !!!
If you really can't help yourself, and must diddle, buy a used Kindle Touch to play with.
If you really, really must -
Install the current (at the moment 0.3) ARMhf system libraries (they install into user storage - not Amazon filespace) -
Then pick from Debian/Jessy ARMhf packages.
You will have to do a bit of un-packaging, finding dependencies, running patchelf as required - -
**BUT**
You will not be bricking a non-recoverable device.

Yes!
You have written the answer yourself:
STOP NOW!!

Just the simplified over-view:
A "filesystem" is something that exists on top of a "backing store".
In a *nix system, two different levels of abstraction.
Either, or both, or neither may be "read only" in nature.
In addition, *nix systems support filesystems that
**can not be written** -
sorry, not in their design spec.
they can only be created and read, never written to.
Your PW2 has a large number of such creatures included in its file system tree.
