Accessing ROOT on 5.11.1 (kRoot)
Will release soon.
It's actually pretty easy to access the root filesystem on the Kindle.

I am legitimately surprised as to how easy it is to access root.
You just set the location with JavaScript to file:///mnt/us/../..
Code:
window.location = "file:///mnt/us/../..";

if you mean an example you can just paste into a script tag or something, that's all you need to do.

you have to use it from the kindle's /mnt/us folder.
so drag b.html into the usb storage, then go to file:///mnt/us/b.html in the Experimental Browser.

hope it goes well.

If it did, you might want to install aur0raHAX; it's an HTML5 app loader I made that can load apps like this, with a nice-ish UI.

Yes, but frustrating to use due to font size, lack of ability to go 'back', and I can't seem to bookmark the link either :<

Cool discovery though!

If you want to go back, you have to click back a few times until it goes back to /. (yes, it's a pain.)
Also thanks, at the end.

It works. But it doesn't show all files and folders, for example we can't see etc/uks (where the dev keys are stored).

I can't see them myself because I'm not jailbroken, are you? (i'm assuming you are)

The browser is sandboxed (and our jail break makes no changes to that sandbox system).
Which limits the actions possible and locations available.
