This is what I have in mind:
- About the kernel, I'm going to use the one provided from Amazon, or at least a recompiled one from Amazon's sources.
- I'm planning to do a debootstrap/multistrap (armel) Debian.
Ah, a newbee - at least to EN_CS - -
"I am going to replace the Amazon OS ..."
That **IS** the Linux Kernel, everything else is user space.

I can't answer your question about differences between a chroot and an actual root implementation until I have:
Your Kindle model;
Your Current Kindle firmware version;
The Kindle firmware version from which you are planning re-use the kernel;
Also the same information for the u-boot and any changes you intend from what Amazon provides.
