Aha! This must be why I am not seeing my paperwhite in the MfgTool

MfgTool (or imx_usb_loader, if you're on Linux) is useless for the Paperwhite - these tools operate on the "USB downloader mode" (yes, that's yet another mode) which can't be entered on the Paperwhite.

Use the fastboot tool.
So I actually found this myself earlier today but I don't have a Mac with OSX so I'm not sure how to compile it....any ideas if this can be compiled under Linux instead of OSX?
