So I would really like to hear from somebody who tried and succeeded - if not getting the KUAL working, then at least not bricking the device.
Also, scroll to the bottom of the first post in the KUAL thread.
There, open the spoiler where the prior version of the first post is hidden.
In that older version of the post, you will read:

NOTES:
Non-Japanese 4GB PW2 models won't run Kindlets at all, unless updated to 5.4.5 or newer (make sure you're JailBroken before updating).
I do not understand how that could be any clearer.

You want nested collections - Use a Kindle model old enough to support them (such as a KT that will run old enough firmware to support 'active content' documents and nested collections (pre-cloud account firmware) ).

= = = =

OR
Just skip all of this idea about running old firmware -
run current and install KOreader.
KOreader understands directory structure, you can make a directory tree that shows the same as nested collections.
