But then I got lost. The instructions say:

-connect to computer and get jailbreak bridge file
-put "Update_jailbreak_bridge_1.14.N_install.bin" in Kindle root
-eject kindle; -make sure you're in airplane mode
-go to settings and update kindle

What is the jailbreak bridge file and were do I ge it? And why is it needed?
Because the OTA jailbreak is somewhat simplified and you need to 'complete' the work.

That install file is contained in the *.zip file attached to this post:

Try this set of instructions, they might help:
