KFT was still lingering around in the Settings menu. I understand it's just an artifact of the jailbreak process, but I'm looking for an "out of box" configuration on the device, so I decided to Factory Reset from Settings.

Normally in order to completely remove the jailbreak you have to reinstall an official firmware update twice, without running the hotfix in between. Your Kindle won't let you install the .bin file for the firmware that you already have installed, but you can try this to trigger the install:

When you copy the firmware files DON'T eject Kindle from your computer, instead press and hold the power button for 15+ seconds to force a reboot. That should then trigger a firmware install. |
