Notes
- If a shortcut doesn't run, confirm the file is executable and located in
/mnt/us/documents. - If a shortcut doesn’t appear, restart your Kindle and wait — it should show up within a minute.
- These scripts are simple launchers that call the actual app start scripts on your device. You must have the corresponding app installed for them to work.
