Then too... the firmware is in the freely available update_*.bin -- just unpack it with KindleTool and you have a full rootfs.img

The jailbreak or lack thereof has NEVER been any sort of blocker at all.

Amazon has not attempted to modify their update wrapper and people can easily inspect the Kindle filesystem even without actually owning the device.
