The problem with /usr/share/webkit-1.0/pillow/strings/search_bar_strings.js doesn't seem to be a cache problem as it doesn't work even after a full reboot of the Kindle. I have checked the file and the Wikipedia link is pointing at Google Translate.
The Kindle kernel is not built to support remote, network access, multi-path mounts.

(Probably, your 'stock' Ubuntu kernel isn't either. )

Install Kterm on the kindle and use busybox vi to edit the file directly.

Install the ARMhf system files (which include Nano) and edit the file directly.
