great -- i've got termux installed on the tablet and sshd
running, but where are the kindle files on the tablet?

i've poked around a bit and found nothing -- of course, /data
and /data/data are inaccessable.
 
and when i ssh in:

  u0_a5 ~[40] ls
  The program 'ls' is not installed. Install it by executing:
   pkg install busybox
  or
   pkg install coreutils
  u0_a5 ~[41] pkg install coreutils
  The program 'pkg' is not installed. Install it by executing:
   pkg install termux-tools
  u0_a5 ~[42] pkg install termux-tools
  The program 'pkg' is not installed. Install it by executing:
   pkg install termux-tools

on the tablet, ls and pkg work as expected -- i must be sshing
in wrong somehow.  hmmm ... where do i go from here?
