*.bin might be anything -
See if KindleTool can identify it.
try 'file' command on it.
If that fails, try to mount it and look at it, similar to the example earlier today about rootfs.img.
See if you can squeeze any more information at all out of it.

The howto recover a device (without a password to anything) is only two or three posts in that 5 (6?) page thread.
I'll see if I can find them and summarize them so people only need to use that thread (and the attached log files) as reference.

I think someone is working on the low level stuff (u-boot and initial uImage) - since they don't have to be signed, only checksumed properly when installing them by fastboot.
Why?
Because if we can add the MR signature certificate to the initial uImage - we could use KindleTool to create our own (jailbroken) 'recovery update' packages.
