Again, I'd imagine it would work (or at least cause no major harm if it didn't), but I sure wouldn't risk it. The best thing to do would be to write a quick non-invasive "update script" that copies the /opt/amazon/ebook/config/framework.mario.conf file to /mnt/us/ (the USB partition, so we can examine what directory/config changes might be different than the K2), copies the /etc/prettyversion.txt to /mnt/us (just to makes sure it exists), and does a directory listing of /etc/rc5.d/ (so we can be sure that the init script launches before the framework does). Those three things pretty much comprise the hack, and the info from them would be enough to a) see if the K2 hack would still work, or b) rewrite it to work.


You really need to get over this. Since the kindle DEV team calls it a screensaver, then so will I.
Any way you would be able to write a hack blindly using the new update procedure here?
