Put KUAL in the documents folder, then open it?

Welp, that sucks. I'm getting an error when trying to open KUAL saying that the kindle is not authorized. I'm guessing that means not jailbroken. So do I start by looking at the Kindle (eink) Jailbreak Index @geekmaster?

re-install the 'hotfix' package, the 'release post' for that package is:

We follow a 'single point of maintenance' model here, the 'release post' is always the second place to look for the most recent package.
(The first place is NiLuJe's snapshots thread.)

Thanks for the info about the "release post"--I didn't know about that.

I hope it's safe, I'm trying it out now.

EDIT: Woo! I can open KUAL now, so I'm guessing the hotfix fixed whatever was going on. Thanks @knc1 and @geekmaster.

Your welcome.

And since the 'hotfix' package can not be installed until the device is jail broken, you just learned that your device did remain jail broken.

The 'hotfix' package installs the 'survival code' that automatically re-installs the jail break after Amazon updates.

Your 'back to normal' now in all respects.
