Okay thank you for the assistance. I was a bit confused as I do not have an extensions file, but I think I see that because im not using 7-zip it isnt extracting correctly. I will return with the results and I appreciate the help

I still cannot find the extensions folder, even after running KUAL(I had a runtime error). Do I have to create it myself?
If not, I will try the SSH method

I thought it would be safe to take my kindle out of airplane mode after installing and activating this extension, but Amazon still removed books from my kindle and installed other books from my account. What domains do I need to add to /etc/hosts to prevent Amazon from syncing the kindle to my account?
