The above situation is the same as:
visit malicous site that loads the jscript -
tells you, you can download there a fancy font (actually any executable file to be run as 'root' on your Kindle)
gives you directions about using ;fc-cache (clear the font control cache)
Bam! Your Kindle just joined a million other Kindles in a botnet (or anything else).

But you also need to download a file with a computer.
Also, is there even significant value in a kindle botnet? Like, I wouldn't want my device on it, and I understand why Amazon wanted it patched, but it's so much easier to get computer or phone botnets that are far more powerful.
