The parts of the Kindle that handle gestures like that are not global, so the way it works is there are seperate "apps" of sorts for each state
There's a "home screen app", a "reader app" and even a "notebook app" (for the scribe, but that one is pretty integrated into the home screen one)
Whilst it could be theoretically possible to modify, say, the home screen code, unfortunately, since it now uses WASM it is extremely difficult to reverse engineer.
Basically, we don't have the source code for what we need to modify, and decompiling it does not give you the original source code, but rather, a highly obfuscated low-level language, which whilst easier, is still extremely difficult to understand
