To help make things clearer, you'll find here what we're now calling the Mobileread Kindlet Kit!

Historically, this has been known under a wealth of different dubiously helpful names (KUAL prerequisites, for example), but, basically, it's what you need to run custom Kindlets (like KUAL or Collections Manager) on your Kindle (provided it's decently recent enough [FW >= 2.5]).

Technically, the installer package contains PoP's merged developer keystore and ixtab's Kindlet JailBreak (which is a different cog in the machine than the JailBreak, period), so, a round of applause for everyone involved

What Does It Do?:

Much like the JailBreak opening a door for our stuff, this will allow you to use the custom Kindlets available on this forum.

Latest Updates (06/04/2019):

Minor behind the scenes changes to work in tandem with the updated bridge from the K5 1.14.N JB.

PSA: All downloads have been moved to the Snapshots thread!

INSTALL:

MKK:

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR K5 USERS USING JAILBREAK OR HOTFIX >= v1.11.N:

Your JB version should come with MKK bundled, meaning you can skip this post in its entirety, you're good to go . Just make sure to reboot your device after a fresh JB install!
Note that this only applies to the K5 JB! If you're using an older device, you will need to install MKK manually .

Spoiler:

As any other hacks, your device needs to be jailbroken. Please refer to the wiki and/or the stickies & index for the appropriate method for your specific Kindle model .

Download the latest kindle-mkk package from the Snapshots thread, and unpack it. In here, you'll find a few files.
Upload the appropriate Update_*_install.bin file for your Kindle model to the root directory of your Kindle.
If you're confused, please refer to the Kindle nicknames list on the wiki. In this specific case, the k5 file is indeed the one you want if you have a Touch, PW, PW2 or a KT2 or a KV.

Now, eject & unplug your Kindle, and go to [HOME] -> [MENU] > Settings -> [MENU] > Update Your Kindle. It should be over quickly.

Note that if you have KUAL set up and running, you're welcome to use our very own MR Package Installer, which may speed up the process if you're installing multiple things .

And that's it, your Kindle is now ready to rock custom Kindlets!

FAQs:

Spoiler:

Q. Halp! Everything is broken, and my device shows me weird popups when I try to launch a Kindlet!

A. You either fell victim to a silent OTA update, or you unregistered your device since the last time you tried to launch a Kindlet.
The fix is simple: reinstall MKK.
(In the case of an OTA update on a K5 device, the damage might be greater, see the JB FAQ).
