It has never been jailbreaked but I would like to do so for custom screensavers and better compatibility with Calibre.
Would this method work with my device?
Thank you for continually chipping away at this.

Download from Amazon the update to 5.6.5 for your device,
install, turn on airplane mode, return here.

See:

For how to get firmware versions older than current from the Amazon download server.
(I did specifically mention this in the FAQ in the fist post. I even included free direct-download links.)
