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.
