Which files do I need to do this? kindle-jailbreak-xx.zip, USBNetwork-xx.zip, or both? (xx replaces actual version numbers) And which version(s)?

According to the thread titled "Kindle Touch/PaperWhite 5.0.x - 5.4.4.2 JailBreak. Plus K5/PW USBNetwork," v.1.4.N of the kindle-jailbreak zip file provides "Proper Paperwhite Support." But the only file that's attached to this thread is v. 1.14.N, which contains bridge files, which seem to be used for updating already jailbroken devices. As my paperwhite is not jailbroken, can I use v.1.14N? If not, where can I download v1.4.N?

Also, as I just want to transfer the books to Calibre, would using the USBNetwork file be all I need? And if so, what version for the paperwhite 1 and where can I find it?

Thanks for any help.
The jailbreak archive attached to the first post is the correct one for your device -
There is more than just the bridge files in it -
read the installation directions (again ) and eschwartz's answer above.

Same with the USBNetwork file attached to the first post -
That is the file for your device (if you need that feature).

About transfering files **to** Calibre -
Someone else will have to answer that part of your question, I don't use it myself.
