Perhaps it should also wipe out any "not a test kindle" books, too, just so folks can usefully anser the support question proposed above,
My first guess was wrong -
(Since I had USBnetwork running at the time, and I can't turn it off if I wanted to ...)

They did something else:
Code:
[root@kindle root]# find / -name '*.pem'
/etc/uks/pubprodkey01.pem
/etc/uks/pubprodkey02.pem
/etc/uks/pubhackkey01.pem

[root@kindle root]# ls -l /etc/uks
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          272 Jun 16  2010 pubhackkey01.pem
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          272 Oct 25  2009 pubprodkey01.pem
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          451 Oct 25  2009 pubprodkey02.pem
Hey - they also set my clock for me:
Code:
[root@kindle root]# date
Mon Apr  4 15:11:57 CDT 2016
Isn't there a utility (find? ls? something?) that lets you list files 'modified after' ?

yup - -
find / -mmin -60

And the winner seems to be:
Code:
/var/local/java/keystore
Although the list is long, that was the first thing that caught my eye.

And this seems to confirm mischief being done:
Code:
[root@kindle root]# ls -l /mnt/base-us/documents/"Test Kindle Installation Result.txt" \
> /mnt/us/system/com.amazon.ebook.booklet.reader/reader.pref \
> /mnt/base-us/system/com.amazon.ebook.booklet.reader/reader.pref \
> /var/local/java/prefs/com.amazon.ebook.framework/prefs
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          351 Apr  4 14:31 /mnt/base-us/documents/Test Kindle Installation Result.txt
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          235 Apr  4 14:33 /mnt/base-us/system/com.amazon.ebook.booklet.reader/reader.pref
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          235 Apr  4 14:33 /mnt/us/system/com.amazon.ebook.booklet.reader/reader.pref
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          197 Apr  4 14:31 /var/local/java/prefs/com.amazon.ebook.framework/prefs
Well, upon inspection - that was just them setting the time and the timezone (this was the first connect since DST began - they had to change the offset seconds by an hour).
