For future readers:

Substititute:
"It should be pretty safe with text files, but beware of binary files."

Kindles run Linux, a *nix based system, which means:

Shared library names end with: .so not with: .dll
Executables do not have a specific extension (or any extension at all), not .exe
All configuration files are plain text not binary. There is no binary system-wide 'registry'.

In point of fact, *nix based systems do not have any 'reserved' name extensions (the ones commonly seen, like .so, is just convention), because file and path names do not have an 'extension' field.
