[eschwartz@arch ~/Downloads/kv_update_5.6.2.1]$ unzip ReaderSDK-impl.jar
[eschwartz@arch ~/Downloads/kv_update_5.6.2.1]$ grep -R "/mnt/us/FONT_RAMP" com/amazon/ebook/booklet/reader/
Binary file com/amazon/ebook/booklet/reader/impl/J.class matches

Yay.

Edit: Yes, to be clear -- this is a step-by-step of me downloading the update, extracting it, and searching inside the right java package for the name of the hacks's file. Since a text string cannot be byte-compiled.
Finding it (I did) demonstrates that the hack should still work.
