I mean, and sorry if I'm talking nonsense, I don't have to port the kit as well, right? Thank you very much.

You really have got me on that one.
I have no positive knowledge of the answer, but a lot of negatives that suggest the answer:
"Kindlet Jailbreak not (currently) required for Booklets"
I.E: A Booklet can request any and all (Java) permissions.
I do seem to recall a comment in one of the control files that implied that could (or will) change when Amazon/Lab126 switches to signed jars.
(That same comment is why I want to determine if JBpatch can handle the case of signed jars.)
I do not recall NiLuJe needing to make a different Kindlet jailbreak.
Which seems reasonable, since a Booklet is not inside of a 'permissions jail' like Kindlets are.
(Kindlets where intended for the use of after-market add-in developers of active content applications. A program that Amazon has dropped.)
It could be that he did have to make changes and I just missed the fact. I was busy handling the setting up of the International file distribution network.
I.E: NMJ, NMP, I don't know. We had a lot of people working on parts of the JB release that weekend (to make the release on July 4th).
The Kindlet Jailbreak is here:
https://bitbucket.org/ixtab/kindletjailbreak
And it has never been forked. Which suggests to me that NiLuJe (nor anyone else) has ever had to modify it.
But in truth, all of the negative suggestions above can mean is that I just didn't find anything that I looked for, the true answer might be somewhere else than where I looked.

A sign of the times (at Mobileread developers' corner) -
Everyone with a KT3 or a KOA must use the Booklet form of KUAL (that makes it important) -
The Booklet form of KUAL does not behave properly on some newer firmware versions (that makes it broke) -
**Nobody has stepped forward to fix KUAL.**
Q.E.D: Don't hold your breath for a Booklet version of the much less used Collections Manager.
Translation: We are on the edge of change, with hardly any support for 8th. generation devices, if there is ever a 9th. generation device, it will probably mean the end of this development forum.
Just like the PW3-32 - - we do not (and currently can not) support it (it is 8-1/2 gen).
(Although there are signs that 9th generation might be Android rather than Amazon OS.)
