Another Point:

I can't confirm the following statement in posting #1 step 8:
Quote:
  • KOA and KT3 owners:
You must use the update_*.bin format package of KUAL and you must use the MrPi installer to install it.
  • Other devices:
The archive still contains the previous 'document' style of KUAL, used by just placing the (correct) KUAL document into the /documents folder of USB storage.
As for my KT3 (included that of a friend of mine) this is not (longer) true generally any more (at least since "basic version" 5.8.3 or so). I could jailbreak these devices and treat them like "other devices" in the list, i.e. simply use the "document style" KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 file in the document folder without even starting MRPI for this reason. It starts without any problems. The same ist true, btw, for the Vlasovsoft tools etc., they also may be launched alternatively via their respective *.azw2 document.

But of course you may also use the MRPI method. This has a big advantage: You not only have all your hacks in one neat interface - but you can additionally rename the *.kual "document" (empty file, any name possible, just the extension ".kual" matters) to whatever you like. In my case I used "(1) KUAL (Kindle Unified App Launcher).kual" that brings this on top of the alphabetically sorted document list.

HTH.
