Once jail broken, and the 'hotfix' run, then you can update to the Amazon version you prefer.
I just bought it and yes, it is 5.6.5. I have read a few articles on Kindle Jailbreaking. I know it can bring some possible benefits (such as fonts, screensavers). Are there any downsides to the jailbreak? Will I be able to install the newer software versions (even newer than 5.7.3) without any disadvantages? Are there any bugs that I should be aware of?

Momentarily I will keep it on Airplane mode because I have never jailbreaked any Kindle device so far. I have some experience with Android but this seems to be a bit different (not necesarilly more difficult).

I have read some tutorials on the forum but I'm not sure which aprroach is the best. Can you direct me to an easy method of jailbreaking + hotfixing?

Thanks!
