No idea, will leave that one for someone who knows.

It does not "burn in".
The relective pixels are actually "flipped over" to change from black to white.
The "pixel state" is static, no power required, pull the battery and a month later the screen still is displaying whatever it was displaying.

Thanks!

There may be a bit of misunderstanding at work here with the phrase "root directory" of the Kindle.
What you see from another machine connected via USB as the Kindle storage area is actually a sub-directory of the Kindle's "root directory" (/mnt/us).
I.E: only part of the file system tree is visible to the "normal" user unless some other type of access is in use (terminal over ssh, full file system export over OTG, etc.).
