I have a Kindle 3G, firmware version 3.4.1.

Thanks for the help!
Now if you had one of the K5 series (K5, PW1) -
then you could find my build of Nano right on this forum.

What other things do you include in your list of "other useful packages".

PS: You can probably install (manually) the Nano build from an old enough version of Debian -
Also something you can find directions for, on in this forum.
