Now with the info GM quoted, it should be a piece of cake to test it they are working in consumer boards (the other pad outlines work as labeled).

If you can acquire USB downloader mode using these pads, we MIGHT need an updated u-boot for the newer boards (though my modified u-boot images work fine for K3/K4/K5). I no longer have the source code for my mods, but it should be easy enough to mod and rebuild them like I did before -- my mods simply changed the RAM copy of the idme bootmode var early in the uboot logic).
Unfortunately, users will still need to ground a pad before releasing power, to acquire USB downloader mode -- not for the timid. Perhaps we need to design and publish a simple test jig (per kindle model, and which anyone can build) that presses a wire into the correct location without error when the Kindle (with cover removed) is lowered onto it...
