As promised here are the slides & the sample code for the kindle ssh thingy.
Update: The magical key required to identify to amazon can be found at:
/var/local/java/prefs/cookies/Cookie__x-fsn_WITH_DOMAIN__amazon.com.cookie
No more browser trickery required 
slides modified corkscrew.c current jailbreak & usbnet packages windows usb driver
I was soo glad this worked on my kindle 3.
I have been trying to get the kindle ID of an American friend so I don’t need to use my own key and modify my profile to Australia.
