Just chiming in to add another case of a KV that does not need the patch for the booklet version of KUAL to work.

Serial B05409
FW 5.9.4 (3278740046)
I have not yet reinstalled hacks.

As knc1 and a bunch of people have been pointing out, if you're a KV user coming from 5.8.x, the kindlet version of KUAL (the azw2 document) will no longer work. To start using the booklet version of KUAL, drag and drop the "Update_KUALBooklet_v2.7_install.bin" file from the KUAL zip (obtainable from the OP) into the mrpackages folder in your Kindle's root, run ";log mrpi" from the search bar, and a new KUAL will install and upon installation show up as your newest 'book'. This version of KUAL won't have a cover, and will take up the whole screen once you launch it - no navigation controls until you finish up and quit.

Note that removing the azw2 doesn't remove the old KUAL from the list of apps in the Kindle's UI itself. I think that's what these attempts by knc to write a script are supposed to fix, but I'm not sure.

Knc1 has also pointed out that as there are several variants of the KV it is unknown if all of them work with the booklet version of KUAL without necessitating a patch. An experimental patch from coplate is available here - thanks again to knc for pointing this out
