That method is deprecated. The linked thread there has directions to the new master Jailbreak thread, which is the canonical location of JB info.

But there is no lower firmware to downgrade to

also Amazon closed that loophole.

Currently the serial port is the only way in.

Note: If you do jailbreak over the serial port, you will need to pay Amazon to remove the ads, before using our screensavers hack.
