Can't install KPVBooklet

Hi, I'm trying to install KPVBooklet to launch KOReader. I've tried installing it twice, but it doesn't look like it installed either time. (The home screen is still the same as before, and when I open a PDF, it's the standard PDF viewer rather than KOReader.)

Here's what I did:

1. I had already jailbroken my PW2, downgrading from 5.4.5.1 to 5.4.3.2, jailbreaking, installing the backdoor lock, and then upgrading back to 5.4.5.1. No problems with any of that.

2. Installed KPVBooklet following these instructions. Downloaded and unzipped the latest release (0.5.8), copied the install.bin to the Kindle's root folder, ejected the Kindle, and updated the Kindle via the menu. The message said it was successful.

3. Installed KOReader following these instructions. Downloaded the latest stable version (koreader-kindle-arm-linux-gnueabi-v2014.11-stable.zip), unzipped it, and copied the contents into the Kindle's root directory.

4. So the KOReader directories are all on there, but I couldn't see any sign of KPVBooklet having installed. I thought perhaps my firmware, 5.4.5.1, wasn't supported by KPVBooklet, since it's not mentioned in the readme. So I downgraded to 5.4.3.2 the same way I did when jailbreaking. Then I tried installing KPVBooklet again. (I didn't think to uninstall in between, because I couldn't see any evidence that it had installed the first time, but maybe I should have). This time I paid more attention to the messages that came up, but they all seemed normal, and once again, the message at the end said it had been successful. But I still can't see any sign that it's installed.

TL;DR: Have tried installing TPVBooklet (twice) but don't see it anywhere.

Can anyone think what I might be doing wrong? Thank you for your help!
