That's pretty much what I was asking in my first post, I guess I worded it poorly

I don't care if the source used comes from Amazon's dump, other projects, or a combination. I'm just trying to find out if there's currently enough out there to build a kernel for the kindle + rootfs that's capable of launching a project like kual/koreader and whether anyone has done so.

If that's possible via the buildroot or scratchbox route without having to include any closed source blobs, do you have any links/pointers to more information on this?
