Installing KUAL and MRPI

You will need to install KUAL (Kindle Unified Application Launcher) and MRPI (MobileRead Package Installer) to run homebrew on your Kindle.

Download MRPI

MRPI

This version of MRPI is provided by Marek

Extracting MRPI

Extract the contents of the MRPI you downloaded, and copy the extensions and mrpackages folders to your Kindle


Extracting KUAL

Extract the KUAL you downloaded and find the Update_KUALBooklet_*_install.bin file and copy it to your Kindle's mrpackages folder


Eject and unplug your Kindle

Running MRPI

On your Kindle, type ;log mrpi into the search bar and hit enter


Done

Now wait whilst KUAL is installed, your Kindle screen turn white and show some icons, after a while you will be returned to your library and see a KUAL book appear in it.

If you see a "Application Error" dialog, you can close it without worry - this is normal behaviour on some modern Kindles


Troubleshooting

  • Verify the location of all the folders and files on the Kindle
  • Try copying the Update_KUALBooklet_hotfix_*_install.bin file to the root of your Kindle when connected to your PC, and then go to Settings > Update Your Kindle, then resume from step 5
