Our packages here use the built-in installation features of the Amazon firmware.
That firmware **reguires** packages to cryptographically signed.
The "Device Jailbreak" installs a Mobile Read developer's certificate to the ones that come with the Amazon firmware.
Depending on the device and the version of the "Device Jailbreak", its installation also does some other helpful file installs.
For instance, the current device jailbreak for the Kpw has gotten fairly complex (because Kpw's are hard to de-brick).
But the real "key" (no pun intended) is the addition of that certificate that allows our packages to be installed.
