Thanks a lot for sharing this script. It works flawlessly so far on my K4!
Now I no longer need to go through the registration process to keep using KUAL. Before your extension, registering was the only way for me to avoid the error:
Code:
This device is not authorized as a test Kindle by the developer of this item. Please contact the developer.
The uninstall script didn't work on my K4, though:
Code:
sed: invalid option -- 'z'
This did work:
Code:
awk '/# BEGIN block_amazon/,/# END block_amazon/{next} { print $0 }' /etc/hosts > /tmp/hosts.tmp
cp /tmp/hosts.tmp /etc/hosts

No, running the install script once should be sufficient. In my experience, it survives reboots.
