Ah, I take exception to that -

my site openplayer.org is NOT a ramdom web-site - it has been on-line for five years now.

I do not think that I am any less trustworthy than the person signing the next release of your package.
Self-signed **anything** just gives a warm and fuzzy feeling, not security.

The kindlefere guys got really really lucky. openplayer.org does not appear to work.

Again, I don't recommend using either of these. (although the chinese instructions appear to be quite well done.) The behavior of alternative URLs is going to be poorly defined.

That does not change my observation about the trustworthness of self-signed anything.

It is 'false security' of the worse kind.

I just want to thank Branch Delay and everyone else involved! It worked perfectly on my English Paperwhite 2.

Did you enter ";fc-cache" - without the quotation marks - in the search field, as described in other posts earlier?

EDIT: And did you put the jb file in the Kindle's root AFTER the factory reset?

Since a FW update wipes mostly everything, you'll want to do the update *before* installing other stuff. That said, if this is your first foray into custom Kindle stuff, I'd still recommend familiarizing yourself with everything on FW 5.6.5 before moving on to a less friendly FW version.
This is my first dealing with the KT2 and 5.6.5, but my K3W has been customized for years. Thinking a bit further on your suggestions and those of knc1 I think I will stay with 5.6.5 until the ability to back out of 5.7.2 is confirmed and stay away from the browser. Back to Airplane Mode for now!

EDIT: ;fc-cache did not produce any results. factory resetting again

From how I read it, you've got to enter ";fc-cache" manually into the search prompt when it displays something containing fc-cache. It doesn't auto-run.

Device is already confirmed, but I just wanted to add my thanks to the list of folks who are grateful for this amazingly helpful tool as well as the countless hours you folks have been putting in answering questions and (unfortunately) some repeated questions. Thanks for your incredible work and patience with those of us who are truly noobs at all this.

I was able to get KOReader going and get night vision going! Absolutely astounding. It's far better than I thought it would be! Thanks SOO much. No need for me to look into a different device now.

@knc1: have I just missed that - you had set openplayer.org set up the same way the kindlefere folks did with kindlefere.com, only you redirected to 208.113.182.154?

Does it mean, no need for changing the router settings? That would be so helpful, since I'm sitting on a cable router that so crippled by the isp... I can't change anything regarding dns here...
