1. Pressing "prevent OTA updates" in kual Helper prevents updates under all circumstances including if I restart the kindle or connect to any wifi, and that it will continue to do so in the future if i stay on my current fw.
If you stay with 5.10.x and you did "prevent OTA updates" you should be safe from unwanted updates. If you do manually update, you need to reinstall everything, including KUAL.

Also many people have had their JB kindle registered for years without problem.

2. Registering my jailbroken kindle will not compromise the jailbreak or the prevention of the OTA updates- will amazon know that my kindle is jailbroken-will there be consequences for this?



If possible I would also like to know if there is a better way; to create new folders and manipulate and move files into them, than using KOreader (bascially I am looking for KOreaders file managing interface without launching KOreader).

Thank you
You can use native linux commands to create and manipulate folder by logging in over USB or using kterm. If you have USB mass storage enabled, you can mount your kindle on a computer over USB and use tools on the computer.
