EDIT: Never mind, I figured out what I screwed up. I watched a youtube video and it turns out I missed the fact that I also had to copy over the debug file. Worked perfectly after I fixed that.

So I'm having trouble getting the jailbreak off the ground. I downloaded the zip and placed the script in the root directory of the Paperwhite and the .mobi in the documents directory of the Paperwhite. After ejecting it, the jailbreak document shows up, I can open it, tap "Click to jailbreak" to get to the screen where I have to touch the upper left corner, and then I get stuck. I cannot find a way to get it to recognize the touch to the upper left corner. It just refuses to do anything. Firmware is version 5.3.4 (1848900011) and the serial number begins with B024.

Any idea what's going wrong for me? Thanks!
