Busted Kindle Touchscreen - everything else ok - can I hack it?

Hey all,
I have a Kindle KT2 with a busted touchscreen but everything else works. I was wondering if it was still possible to hack it to get ssh access so that maybe i could so some things with it passively - like use it as a weather screen, email notifier - that sort of stuff.

I followed the guide here - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=275877

And got as far as needing to implement the Jailbreak but at this part i need to:-

Quote:
Search bar, enter Code:

;installHtml

Press 'return'
Yes, the semi-colon is part of the search bar command string.
Which i obviously cannot do. Additionally i cannot even copy to the USB drive right now as after the factory reset, until you go through initial setup it just shows up as a ghosted USB drive.

So am i goosed - should i consign the kindle to the dustbin and be done with it or can i coax some life out of it yet?
