In step 7, as it looks now, as long as all of the steps are followed correctly, JB is preserved when updating to the latest firmware. However, we have no way of knowing if this will always hold true, correct? Is it recommended to always block OTA updates, so when the next OTA update comes out, we can wait for someone to verify that JB is preserved after the pushing the next OTA update? Just in case Amazon pushes something that blocks us from JB or something.

In step 8, is there a reason MrPI is listed before KUAL? As I understand from reading each thread, KUAL needs to be installed before MrPI since MrPI is an extension of KUAL, but I'm not sure. "New" and "old" installation methods are also referenced in step 8. Are MrPI and KUAL both "new" installation methods?

Additionally, in the KUAL thread, MKK is listed as a prerequisite. Is this bundled in the current JB/hotfix? I'm assuming yes, since there was no mention of installing MKK in this guide.

In the future, let's assume the next OTA update doesn't remove JB. If I were to manually download and install the latest firmware, what would need to be reinstalled? As I understand, I would have to reinstall MrPI and KUAL, and any hacks I installed using these two installers. Is this correct?

Sorry for all of the questions! Appreciate all of the work that went into this thread.
Any and all Amazon image updates over-write the Jailbreak (certificate).

That is automatically re-installed when the new firmware is booted.
I.E: The certificate's installation is viral.
Its a nice, useful, virus, but a virus none the less.

This MrPI is also an extension of the main page search bar.
That is what is 'new' about MrPI.

KUAL is now packaged in both Kindlet and Booklet formats.
The Booklet format must be installed by MrPI which requires MrPI be first.

= = = =

There are suggestions pending about the wording of the directions.
But after 6 months, you can be pretty sure that I do have the logic correct.
