OK, all done (except test VV - I'll do that tomorrow).
I followed the sticky software jail break instructions, including the linked-to page with the 5.6.5 update packages (in case Amazon had changed the package but not changed its name).
Despite reports of failures - the directions worked exactly as intended / as described.
(with the exception of a filename typo that I have reported)

On 5.7.4.1 - with an unregistered device -
you can't reach the preferences to turn off the reading suggestions or purchase announcements (this device DOES NOT have special offers).
Which leaves the 'front page' really, really, crowded.
With no indication of how to reach the "old" home screen that lists your documents.
Found:
Treat it like a book - single finger swipe, right-to-left moves to the 'second' page of the 'home page(s)' display.
The only problem is finding a 'blank' area to swipe across.
JB survived the 5.6.5 -> 5.7.4.1 update and self reinstalled, just as intended.
The ;st date time command works on 5.7.4.1
(I didn't try to set the time zone.)
My first impression of this 5.7.4.1 GUI -
I sure am glad I did this to yours, not to mine.
