Does it let me put Linux on it?
They come with a Linux based OS pre installed. Jailbreaking allows you to effectively become root and gives you a lot more freedom to change stuff.
TLDR: yes
So theoretically I could replace the entire filesystem with a distro of choice?
Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if it's gonna be smooth sailing. You would probably need a custom kernel which supports the kindle hardware. I don't know if there is any project which already packages/distributes the kindle kernel
