UPDATE: Login without password WORKS, just found out about that option. But I still wanted to have a safe way to SSH into my Kindle.

I also tried following dropbear's key format from their github (which is no split lines, someone@someone at the end) just below the gibberish characters like this:

ssh-rsa longSSHkey= root@myIPhere

I tried adding my key there but still couldn't get SSH to work, I would suspect it's the "root@myIPhere" part because I didn't added the 2222 port, but at this point I think it's the gibberish characters. Because later on I deleted the added line leaving the file basically as if it was generated by KOReader and I still couldn't get SSH to work.
