I hope it was painless.
Yup - that would be a good 'next thing'.
Note: That ghost folder is known to work **only** on 5.6.5, it may not protect you when running other firmware versions.
(Which of course doesn't count, if your going to update anyway.)
Do the contact with Amazon **before** doing any update to the firmware.
Get your registration set the way you want it, because changing it wipes out the keys in the MKK package.
(Not a concern if your going to update the firmware - the 'bridge' code will 'bridge' (re-install) both the device jailbreak and the MKK keys.)
At which point it is user's choice if you want to update to new firmware.
Once you are past that decision point -
If you chose to stay on 5.6.5 (which means the 'bridge' hasn't run to fix the MKK keys) -
then just run the 'hotfix' thing again, it will fix them.
Then install KUAL and the MrPI, KUAL extension.
The 5.6.x and 5.7.x firmwares **require** that you use MrPI to install any of our update_*.bin files.
In addition to the screensavers add-in, you may want USBnetworking (based on your background, ssh should not be a mystery
and that will give you access to the Kindle's internals).
If not interested in using the "networked to Amazon" features (and would rather not have J.B. reading about your Kindle reading habits) -
There is a BBB (Block Big Brother) KUAL extension -
That lets you set the firewall rules so that your Kindle can't 'call home'.
Note: they are a little bit out of date, but sometime, RSN, I will update them.
