Not important, but is there any way to change the empty/naked KUAL launcher book cover to something else?
And just for my understanding. What goes in the extensions folder and what in the mrpackages folder? The mr folder ist just for installing stuff, correct? And ext. add long-term functionality to KUAL.

It is normal. In theory that should stop downloading firmware update bin OTA. It doesn't stop the device from installing firmware update bin if user manualy transfers to the Kindle firmware bin and does a reboot.

Read this thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=346743
Expecialy comments #3, #7, #13 and #15. Choose one KUAL extension, the cover image itself can be replaced.
"KOL" mentioned in comment #15 is a booklet (a "book" entry) that launcher KOReader directly (so that it takes one tap instead of opening KUAL>KOreader>start blah blah) is this:

"extensions" folder is for KUAL extensions (= button/options inside KUAL that run scripts that do stuff) and "mrpackages" is for MobileRead packages?? (= hacks originating from MobileRead.com forum), packaged as bin installers that need to be installed via MRPI.
Firmware updates will not delete content of "extensions" folder (or anything that is on kindle drive like say "koreader" folder that contains KOReader app; factory reset will delete all that) but it will delete files that are part of the whole system needed to run KUAL and its extensions.
Once last lesson: don't ever do
both factory reset and firmware install in sequence (without hotflix install in between those) or you will remove the jailbreak and hotfix will not be able to recover it.
