Now my Kindle is stuck in an infinite reboot loop, and holding down the 'r' key during the flashing (or throughout the entire cycle) does nothing. Holding the power/sleep button to one side will halt the process at one of a couple of stages, but it just freezes until you slide this button again, at which point it resumes the infinite reboot loop. What can I do to get my Kindle back?
You probably selected "Restart" instead of "Update" in the settings menu. I've had this happening before, it's very scary when it happens.

BTW, the 0.07 version installer would have upgraded version 0.06 painlessly.
Hold the "HOME" button while the device is rebooting ; when you're in the recovery mode ; press R
