It has been well known for a very long time that kindles run linux. In fact it is debian based and debian libraries an executables from the matcing debian release for the correct architecture will run on a jailbroken kindle.

Unfortunately only kernels signed by amazon will boot. In addition the bootloader was locked some years ago.
