Yes, jailbreak is a must.
But you don't need ssh and can ignore all the technical details from my original post.
Just use MobileRead Package Installer and _install.bin package from touchblock_1.3.zip.

MrTick, thank you for the help! I was able to get both TouchBlock_1.3 and TouchBlock.koplugin working. You are a legend, thank you for creating this!

Also, for the next person... as Mr Tick said in his initial instructions, after installing TouchBlock_1.3 you must remember to fully reboot the device even though MobileRead Package Installer will do something that looks similar to a reboot, you must still actually reboot. This initially confused me.
