Copy jb to /mnt/us. (root directory mounted when attaching kindle to a computer)
Serve up jb folder on port 80 on a web server.
DNS redirect "a" to the web server via man in the middle, changing the server name on your network, adding an entry to your DNS server on your router, etc. (if you specify a wireless network and click advanced, you can put in a static DNS server)

i.e. after all of this, browsing to a should open up index.html.

Open the browser on the kindle, browse to the url "a". (with no quotes)
Ah, so - the source of some of the problems -

If you put the folder named jb in the web-root of your server, then the url on the Kindle should be:
a/jb

If you put the contents of the folder named jb in the web-root of your server, then the url on the Kindle should be:
a

If your set-up requires that you install a dns server locally -
then just use that to direct 'a' to my public jb server, that way you don't have to set up your own server.
