The Kindle is not a real Linux distro. It's a snapshot of one, heavily trimmed down for one specific purpose.

(Probably based on OpenEmbedded nowadays).

That makes this a terrible idea outside of a chroot.
Understood. So I am left with doing what I need by hand if necessary with binaries from Jessie. Sounds like a lot of work.

On a related topic, I thought perhaps I am missing something. I planned to ssh into the pw4 while using the audio features Amazon provides and using top to see how they are doing so. But when I do so I get:

Code:
[root@kindle root]# top
Unknown HZ value! (8) Assume 100.
'xterm-256color': unknown terminal type.
[root@kindle root]#
That seems odd, so I did some searching the documented terminfo search path and do indeed find there is no /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm-256color present. Shouldn't usbnet install it?
