2. Place the downloaded update_*.bin file in the topmost, visible level of USB storage (alongside of /documents).
3. Eject and/or Safely Remove (term depends on OS) the Kindle, USB storage.
4. Remove the USB cable.
5. Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Update Your Kindle
6. Confirm
7. Wait



I had made to that page, but didn't go down far enough to 'learn more'.

I'd still suggest that simply adding this link to step 7 (1) is the way to go:

As I know you know, generally speaking, instructions should be as idiot proof as possible. Use me as you idiot. Plus the less hunting and pecking a user has to do away from your page/site, the better.

At any rate, just trying to provide some, what I hope is, helpful feedback. This is the last I will comment on it.
Sorry, the idiot position has already been filled.

The assumption here is if you are jailbreaking your kindle, then you should know a bit about kindle's backdoor.
