I jailbreaked my kindle 7 ($99) by TTL2USB serail!
Boot up to dialog mode by bootm 0xE41000 and login root with passwd 'mario'.
Then I removed the main mode root passwd in file /etc/shadow of mmcblk0p1.
I already got root access of the main boot mode, installed jb-1.14.N and KUAL. I'm able to launch KUAL.
But when I try install koreader by unzip koreader-kindle-arm-linux-gnueabi-v2014.11-222-gdb420d2.zip from /mnt/us
I see the item 'KOReader' in KUAL and when I click 'Start the filemanager' it crashed and go Home directly.
I tried run koreader from terminal to open a html file with below commands.
#cd /mnt/us/koreader
#./koreader.sh ../documents/list.html -d
The crash.log
./luajit: frontend/device/generic/powerd.lua:30: bad argument #1 to 'open' (string expected, got nil)
stack traceback:

It seems the power lib is not compatible with 5.6.0.1.6.
13 function KindlePowerD:init()
14 local lipc = require("liblipclua")
15 if lipc then
16 self.lipc_handle = lipc.init("com.github.koreader.kindlepowerd")
17 end
18 if self.lipc_handle then
19 self.flIntensity = self.lipc_handle:get_int_property("com.lab126.powe rd", "flIntensity")
20 else
21 self.flIntensity = self:read_int_file(self.fl_intensity_file) --This should be empty
22 end
23 end
How can I run koreader properly?...
Another issue I found on the script.
For kindle 7.
It can display charactors 37 columns x 33 lines. #epis 36 32 a
EIPS_MAXCHARS=37
EIPS_MAXLINES=33
That's why jb-1.14.N not show the text properly.
Update:
With below command, koreader worker perfect!!
#/mnt/us/koreader/koreader.sh /mnt/us/documents
unpack *.bin files:
I tried kindletool
https://github.com/yifanlu/KindleTool, it can decode *.bin to *.tar.gz.
