I am a mere javascript programmer, but posts like these always make me want to jump into other things. The creativity of the hacks like from the article and the hacks from the mobileread users are something I really admire.
Is someone reaching out to the author on getting access to the special mobi file?

I wonder since the vulnerabiliy is exploitable via the browser if an appropriately formed JPEG XR could be hosted on a web site and simply navigating to that page with the Kindle browser could install the jailbreak for you.
