This will not work on the K1 as-is, because the "waitforkey" command keycode parameter is not optional on the K1. There are also no input event devices either, so AFAIK the only way to access key presses from a script is with "waitforkey". As mentioned in my K1 thread, I will need to modify the "waitforkey" call to fork off a process for each possible keycode, and save that specific keycode from whichever process fired, instead of waiting for a generic "any" key that the newer "kindles" support.

While at it, I will add support for all the kindles with keyboards (except I cannot test on a K2 which I do not have), including my K1.
