Amazon probably has a complete image somewhere, which they install on the new Kindles. However, they are not releasing it to the public. As far as I know there is no easy way to reinstall the complete image of an earlier version of Kindle firmware out there in the hacking world.

Not that it can't be done. One can hook up the serial port, and burn the image via uBoot. One can make an update, which will reflash the entire Rootfs. It is possible, but it requires some rather serious Linux skills.
