I managed to pull off the external code exection part of the exploit, and with that, (hopefully) the hard part of it is over. I won't be able to progress any further without a cracked kindle though, so I hope fonix232 can help me out with that. (PM'd you!)
As for sharing the jailbreak - if I manage to make it work, no promises - I've thought about multiple ways that would make it hard for anybody to get access to the modified image. Unfortunately, this would require me hosting it on a website, meaning that people would have to risk getting an automatic update by turning on their wifi.
Alternatively I could publish the image file so people could host their own web server locally to access it, but that'd make it really easy for bad actors to use it for scary things.
I'm open to ideas. If anyone can think of a better way to share it, please let me know!

Nice work! I've replied to your PM.
As for hosting I'd recommend GitHub. Its free, and with GitHub Pages you can get a proper website up and running, hosting the image, in no time. I've set up a repo and once we get the image working, I'll write up a guide as well.
Also, automatic updates can be disabled relatively easily - I'm talking about the "update bin partial" folder name trick.
