Writing the modification might be fairly simple but the Kindle almost certainly does some kind of security CRC check before enabling the update function and running an uploaded binary file.

Good point, the update feature allows amazon to run defacto checks of the software your Kindle is running.

You're quite right of source, but I was actually considering how one might install a patch to the OS when there is no command line. As we've recently noted, the manual update process copies a binary file to the root then the OS recognizes it and enabled the update function. That's the only way I could think of.

EDIT: Before some Mod jumps me, I'm not suggesting a method of hacking the Kindle; just discussing why a hack to create folders isn't likely.

Of course they want to hack the DRM structure. Nobody under the age of 30 who owns a computer thinks they should have to pay for anything else.

Yikes. I was just typing almost the same thing but you posted before I finished. That's scary. Glad you type faster (and better) than I do.

Edited to correct bad typing.
