Thanks for the tip about the Kindlet jailbreak, which I never installed. The jailbreak I installed is about 6 years old.

Does LaunchPad need the Kindlet jailbreak only for the "Shift Shift I" command?

The reason I ask is that I found an installation alternative that doesn't used Shift Shift I. Instead of copying the Librerator zip file to the customupdates folder, I copied it to the Kindle's usb root folder and extracted the zip manually. (Then I deleted the zip file and deleted the unneeded kite folder.) Then Shift Shift Space to load the new .ini file. (Followed by Shift L L to launch Librerator, which succeeded.)

I would also ask whether Librerator needs the Kindlet jailbreak for any of its operations, but that question belongs in the Librerator thread.
