Note:
Since it needs to touch the system image files -
This should be packaged with KindleTool (and model locked to Kindle5) -
There is a sample update_*.bin included with KindleTool as an example.
update_*.bin packages can contain any scripting required to install/un-install (and run as root).

Note:
For new packages, always use the most recent KindleTool in NiLuJe's snapshots threads - its model coverage is the most complete.

Hmm....
I don't think the Kindle can index or display an aes-256 encrypted book -
Maybe the KOreader people will pick up on this feature.
This would also be a good addition to Aries KindleMenu (with its information storage applications - whose data files would be good things to encrypt).
