Will need to disable special offers to be able to use the SS hack. What is the easiest way to do so?

Per B_D sounds like it makes sense to upgrade to 5.7.2 to close the security hole. what is the easiest way to do so and keep the jb and hacks alive?

Send Amazon money.

Translation:
Go to your Amazon account page -
In the manage devices you should find a selection to disable special offers.

Install 5.7.2 OR NEVER use the Kindle's experiamental browser - its build of webkit is dangerous to use.

In this order:

Jailbreak
The jb 'hotfix'
restart the Kindle
Install 5.7.2
install KUAL+MrPI (the only way our packages can be installed)
Have Amazon disable special offers for you.
'sync and check'
Install other stuff as desired
