Haven't jailbroken my kindles before although I have "rooted" and applied custom roms to many an android phone.

I've got a better method
-download the jb.zip and unzip it
-move the "jb" file to the root of Kindle
-visit "kindlefere.com/jb/" on kindle's experimental browser
-follow instructions
-put "Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.14.N_install.bin" in Kindle root
-make sure you're in airplane mode
-update kindle |
Glad you succeeded, but this is surprising. Branch Delay said it would only work with the "a" URL, but there are already two reports of it working without that.
