3. Copy the entire directory named "opt" directly to your device.
This directory (more specifically, the "jbpatch" subdirectory)
contains and controls the patches that are actually active on
your device. Consult opt/jbpatch/CONFIG.TXT for more information
about how patches are applied.
4. Restart your Kindle using Menu > Settings, Menu > Update.
5. If you do not see all the expected results directly after the
installation, reboot your Kindle once more.

Pls, how to make it more clear? Just read and do what is written in the instructions.
I can see how that list of steps could be misunderstood by a non-technically experienced user.
There are two machines involved in the instructions.

Starting with #1 : Plug your Kindle to your computer
Presumes "USB storage" mode.
Some people might have "USB net - AUTO" installed.

Since the apparent "root" of the USB storage mode and the actual "root" of the Kindle's filesystem are not the same...
The clearity of the directions begins to de-grade at that point unless you are an expert in Kindle/Linux.
