My understanding is that the Mobileread Kindlet Kit is what I want. However, after I copy the Update_mkk-20141129-k5-ALL_install.bin onto my Kindle, the "Update Your Kindle" remains grayed out, even after I've removed the USB cable and restarted it using the menu.

When I look at my Device Info, it says my firmware version is 5.6.1.1 (2689890035). Am I supposed to be using a different file, or will this not work with my Kindle? Apologies if this is a simple question, I've looked through the previous pages and didn't see my answer.
It is one of the FGA today, but I'll save you the search.
Take the first 4 (or 6) characters of your serial number and look it up in this chart:

The update_*.bin file is disappearing because it isn't for your model Kindle (the packages are all 'model locked').

Hint: It is a PW-1 not a K5
You probably should update your info block in the control panel to show the correct model nickname (it will help us, and might even remind you ).
