I tried using the Update_KUALBooklet_v2.7_install.bin with ;log mrpi as well as the Update_KUALBooklet_v2.7_uninstall.bin but it seems to say some kind of error at the bottom of the screen and doesn't do anything. It then removes the .bin files from the Kindle.
Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Yes.
You are running firmware in the 5.9.x version series.
If you check recent posts in the KUAL release thread, you will see that work is being done to get rid of the after-image.
There is a prototype of a KUAL replacement, but the author has not yet packaged it for trials.
Until a replacement is available, you have to use the search bar command ;log runme and a custom RUNME.sh script to launch stuff.
There is a thread here where a collection of "RUNME.sh" scripts for various purposes is being made.
So far, nobody has contributed much of anything there.
There are mixed reports about MrPI, not sure but that may also be model specific (like KUAL booklet is).
KUAL booklet is reported to be working on the KV.
The screen saver add-in has been recently reported on.
The same person is testing the font add-in.
USBnetworking works, if you can start/stop it somehow (I start/stop it over the serial port).
Probably needs a RUNME.sh script for non-geek use.
The KOA2/FW-5.9.x combination probably marks the end of our add-in efforts.
It looks to be the end of the custom Amazon/Linux system, there are plenty of indications that these device will be switched to the Google/Linux (a.k.a: Android) system in the near future.
(The KOA2 is already running the Android boot loader.)
