However,
  1. I connected to Wi-Fi and registered again. You said above "...give the Kindle a little on-line time to get into sync with the Amazon records." Maybe I should have done that?
  2. Copied the KT3 update file over to the kindle USB root
  3. Did a md5sum check of the file on the kindle from my Ubuntu CLI
  4. Pressed the "update your kindle" button
Everything went through normally, though the screen remained static on the "boy under tree" image for a while during the restart.
I can see the "file.ser" and "version.ser" files in the kindle USB root. (What are these?)
The "Device Info" button confirms that I'm on version 5.8.0

So, I'm now ready for the branch delay step..
Any opinion on whether I can proceed?
You mean the initial factory image file was what you just installed?

If so, just keep on following the steps in order.

There must be something about the 5.8.x firmware that does not quite match the directions.

So let us know if there are any other things that don't seem to match what you are seeing.

I really, really hope I don't have to write a set of directions for each and every Amazon firmware that is out there.
