I've seen people have had success jailbreaking 5.7.3 with Kubrick but I've not had the same luck.
I've followed the steps to get the ISO file onto my USB stick but whenever I try to use it it says "no usable kubrick partition found".
Has anyone had this or is it me being stupid?

Oops - My first reply was based on your "running 5.3.something" =
But now I see "new KT" and "running 5.7.something" .
So the very first thing you need to do is identify what model your girlfriend actually has.
Find the device's serial number on the settings page, look at this table:

The key I missed the first time was the
**new KT** - Amazon has not sold
**NEW** KT models for several years. All NEW
Kindles are
Touchscreen, but none are what we call a KT here.
= = = = =
Yes, other people have had the same trouble, but so far it has never been Kubrick's fault.
Did you follow the directions to put *both* required files on the USB stick?
While we are on the subject of following directions -
Why Kubrick?
Why not just follow the directions in the jailbreak thread for your model and firmware revision?
Hint:
Just above this top thread in the index, see that "prefix" box?
Select "K5" from the drop down, click the "show threads" button.
Ah, and keep it in airplane mode until you get this all sorted out.
