Thanks Jon, Amazon indeed does.

I guess I was more looking for a technical reason, seeing that we both have a working jailbreak and the source code. I’m not a very skilled developer myself so clearly I’m missing something

Is it perhaps that the available open source code only cover part of the kindle OS, so a fully functional .bin image cannot be built from it? Or is it just that no one has had the inclination to pursue this?
