now i'm actually surprised i didn't brick the device and also very surprised how well everything worked in spite of myself.... pretty impressive tools these are.

tomorrow i'll go back and use the other binaries and see if that doesnt fix it

another dumb question... the USBnet.... is its purpose strictly to give SSH access over WIFI, or can it also be used to connect to Calibre over WIFI, making Calibre think you've plugged it right in via USB?

thank you
ssh or telnet over either USB cable or Wifi.
plus a few other 'extras' in the same package.

Calibre - no.
At least that was someone else's desire and I don't recall they ever posted how they did that.

What you need is to export the Kindle file system (well, part of it) and mount that into the file system of the machine which is running Calibre.
ssh is not the tool for that.

The Kindles run Linux.
Linux supports a variety of ways to export parts of its file system.
So it is possible, just that the above poster never told us which one they used and how well it worked.
