The preliminary jb instructions:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/MyTestPage
mostly works as written IF your device is registered.
I.E: you can do #1.1 because you do not have to do #1.2
But it does not work on an un-registered Kindle.
Being unregistered prevents you from exporting USB storage, which prevents you from doing #1.1
So your device is wide open to OTA update attack by Amazon while you do #1.2
Phooey!
Those 'beta' grade instructions will have to be rewritten to cover the non-registered Kindle case.
The people testing this stuff did not notice the problem because their devices where registered.
Mine, being a 'gift', arrived unregistered - so I got to discover this problem myself today.
Should have it worked-around tomorrow, and a 'release' copy of the directions the day after.
Or so I hope.
