Thanks for the info, I'm still willing to tackle the challenge,
so you have put me on the right track.

That's the kind of information I wanted to know. The fact that the UI uses WASM is indeed a hurdle, even though I am sure it's able to be cracked with some work. There is WASM tools that should make the task possible. For simple QoL improvements it should be feasable.

Though I have a question in mind as I'm new to the universe of jailbreaking, if I was able to successfully mod the code, what are steps to apply it to the kindle, just replace the file and reboot ?

Can I also be pointed to which binaries I need to look into ? (Please attach if possible, I didn't jailbreak my kindle yet)
