Exactly.
Or you can use k3flasher in Linux to copy physkeyb.jar to its place over nbd, but that requires some Linux knowledge.
The image with physkeyb added is here: http://ge.tt/2TBY7nR
After you flash the image and reboot, copy the contents of userstore.zip to your Kindle over USB and reboot again. Then you should have your Kindle jailbroken and keys A,W,D,X+S should work as 5-way controller.

As qlob wrote, charging to 100% is enough. That advice is meant for bricked devices that could be fully discharged and there's no way how to tell the real charge level.

It's the Volume- button. At least that's what works for me.

I'm GMT+1. I hope everything will be OK in the end.
Please keep us posted.
