So I reset the thing, thinking it may need some trigger to read / , but it still was greyed out, so I plugged it in to find that the bin wasn't there anymore - did my 5.8.1 just delete it or something?

I'm trying again, I might try downloading another file just in case this one is corrupted, haven't checked the hash yet..
You are stuck because the instructions in this thread are obsolete. Read the green text at the top of the first post, then go to the official jailbreak thread.

The official jailbreaks for all eink kindles are linked in the Jailbreak Index sticky thread (at the top of the Kindle Developer's Corner forum).
