The 5.3 update posted by Amazon is a full system install image, not the usual incremental update.
I did not read the "after having bricked the Kindle" qualification before.
At this time, the only known way to get into USB Downloader mode is by u-boot commands given over the serial port.
Although it might be possible with a special USB cable to trigger the downloader mode.
You will want to read all of the posts related to the above before taking the risk of bricking your device.
