Can't say it was easy, but then I was trying to adapt the "ethernet jack and tape method." Can't say I'd recommend it, but I think the frustration was worth avoiding the anxiety of soldering to spots that tiny. A factory reset when things started getting weird and about 3 hours later, everything is jailbroken. Glad to be through that. With USBNet up and running, hopefully the kindle can stay put together permanently.
My path was this from 5.6.0.1:
Update over USB to 5.6.5
Try to jailbreak
Fail miserably
Factory reset
Correctly apply jailbreak
Profit
Thanks to all and especially the OP for the walkthrough.
