I have used the mp3 jailbreak with great success, thank you.

Method 1:
Plug in the Kindle and copy “data.tar.gz” to the Kindle’s USB drive’s root
Safely remove the USB cable and restart the Kindle (Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Restart)
After the Kindle restarts, you should see a new book titled “You are Jailbroken”, if you see this, the jailbreak has been successful. If you DON’T see this, continue.
I installed the folowing with great success.

Automatically enabling USB network at boot
By default, when the Kindle starts up, it automatically sets "USB drive" mode.
Below are few observations about how to automatically get it into USB networking mode:
Option 1: Starting usbnet from upstart
Create the file /etc/upstart/usbnetwork.conf with the following content:
start on starting framework
task
script
if [ -f /tmp/USBNET_ON ]; then
echo USB network already enabled
else
source /usr/local/bin/usbnetwork.sh
fi
end script
Your Kindle will now go into USB network mode once the framework has loaded.
my kindle spec's are:
#################################################
# N O T I C E * N O T I C E * N O T I C E #
#################################################
Rootfs is mounted read-only. Invoke mntroot rw to
switch back to a writable rootfs.
#################################################
[root@kindle root]# cat /proc/cpuinfo

======================
I mount the filesystem this way:
It may also be helpful to mount your Kindle's filesystem into your computer. You can use sshfs to achieve this. You will need to have SSH access working in the first place, and you need the sftp-server binary.
Download sftp-server.zip from this thread, and unzip it.
Copy sftp-server to your kindle. I copied it directly to /mnt/us/, but you can place it wherever you want.
To mount the the Kindle's root FS to the local directory kindle: sshfs -o sftp_server=/mnt/us/sftp-server root@192.168.15.244:/ kindle/
To unmount: fusermount -u kindle/
then I copy :
update_launcher_1.0_install.bin to /mnt/us
then I copy everything else to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions
I have done something wrong and it does not work.
Do I have to ompile the following files?
KindleLauncher / src / com / yifanlu / Kindle
Extension.java
ExtensionsLoader.java
JARClassLoader.java
JSONMenu.java
KindleLauncher.java
KindleLauncherResources.java
LauncherAction.java
LauncherMenu.java
LauncherScript.java
Menuable.java
ReaderPluginLauncher.java
