Thanks for your reply!

I was able to locate /var/local/CHROME_CONFIG using KoReader. chromeReleaseVersion was already set to 1.

I was running FW 5.14.2 so I was not sure if I could set isKPPChromeEnabled to false. I downloaded FW 5.14.1, copied it to the root of my Kindle and started Downgrader 2.0. I got a 'wrong firmware' message and my Kindle was not downgraded. I copied the firmware again and started Downgrader 2.0 again. My Kindle was downgraded!!

I set isKPPChromeEnabled to false and restarted my Kindle.

My Kindle now has the old-old UI
