1. Download the correct update_*.bin file for your firmware version from the usbnetlite project’s Releases page.
2. Do not extract or unzip anything — you need the raw .bin file.
3. Copy the .bin file into the mrpackages folder on your Kindle’s USB storage (create mrpackages if it doesn’t exist).
4. On your Kindle, open KUAL → go to Helper → Install MR Packages. This will install the .bin you placed in mrpackages.
5. Optional: type ;log mrpi in the Kindle search bar to check MR installer logs if troubleshooting is needed.
6. Once installed, usbnetlite will appear in the KUAL menu and can be launched from there.

Edit the config file if needed (can be done in KOReader). Default login credentials are:

username: root
password: kindle

Once usbnetlite is running, you can enable/disable USB networking directly from KUAL.

• Install the MR package as described above.
• Open KUAL → find usbnetlite in the menu → launch.
• Use the KUAL interface to toggle USB networking.

• This page contains only the minimal, corrected steps — always follow the project’s Releases for firmware-specific builds.
