Quick update: I was able to get shellinabox working by cloning it from github and building it myself. A few adjustments needed to be made to get the on-screen keyboard button to show on the web page without having to right-click, since the kindle paperwhite doesn't have a right click, and the response time is abysmal, but I can ssh onto my computer and use tmux to see the session, which allows me to use the keyboard for the computer but the display on the kindle.
I tried GoTTY again, and it didn't work. WeTTY also does not work. Ajaxterm and Anyterm might work but I couldn't either of them to build. I got the Kindle-TTY project to work by adding webkit prefixes to the CSS, but it's a very clunky approximation of a terminal.
In summary, I think that the kindle's ability to process javascript is rather poor, and this results in a large latency between the session and the web page. The refresh rate of the screen is perfectly adequate. Makes me regret not jail-breaking it so I could use kterm to ssh directly.
