If your Mac is also your home router, then you need to make the entry in your /etc/hosts file.
If your Mac is **NOT** your home router, you only need it to unpack the jb.zip archive and transfer the jb/jb file to your kindle.
Translation: Yes, it works on a Mac
Let see if I can be clearer - -
There are two things that have to happen:
1) you must be able to get the file named: jb out of the sub-directory named jb in the archive file attached above, named: jb.zip
2) you must modify your local network routing so that when you enter the single character 'a' (without the quotes) in the Kindle's browser the packets are actually sent to the ip address:
208.113.182.154
That's it, just those two things have to happen.
And one is just like side-loading anything else onto your Kindle.
= = = =
And for the curious -
Yes, I had to buy that IP address for this purpose, and it is costing about $60 per year.
So I don't promise to keep it up for very long (I am purchasing it by the month).
