This is a very bad idea (tm) for a number of reasons:

As described, it makes the Amazon system image read/write during play.
Program is just dump'd into the root of USB storage, ignoring our policies for placement of additions. Policies learned the hard way here.

The application is built to use VFPv2 instructions and the K3 processor supports only the VFP instruction set.

Code:

core2quad adom $ readelf -A adom
Attribute Section: aeabi
File Attributes
  Tag_CPU_name: "6"
  Tag_CPU_arch: v6
  Tag_ARM_ISA_use: Yes
  Tag_THUMB_ISA_use: Thumb-1
  Tag_FP_arch: VFPv2
  Tag_ABI_PCS_wchar_t: 4
  Tag_ABI_FP_denormal: Needed
  Tag_ABI_FP_exceptions: Needed
  Tag_ABI_FP_number_model: IEEE 754
  Tag_ABI_align_needed: 8-byte
  Tag_ABI_align_preserved: 8-byte, except leaf SP
  Tag_ABI_enum_size: int
  Tag_ABI_HardFP_use: SP and DP
  Tag_ABI_VFP_args: VFP registers
  Tag_CPU_unaligned_access: v6
  Tag_DIV_use: Not allowed

This project goes against basic principles we (the developers) at Mobilread support.

No sources to be made available (see: readme1st.txt, section III.E).
The above, in violation of license terms of some of the software components (see: text of the various licenses in the archive's "license" directory.
It is a commercial project (crowd funded, but commercial none the less).

Personal Opinion:
Not Recommended!
