Also, if you don't want your PW to update again (after jailbreaking and rebooting the Kindle to let it install MKK and "bridge" code that allows the jailbreak to survive firmware update you are free to update it to 5.6.1.1) you will have to read about ways of blocking the OTA update that still work for fw 5.4.4.2 , or keep it offline.
But you probably should update it back to 5.6.1.1 because that update added support for new KFX book format IIRC.
Thanks. I got the jailbreak working. I normally do keep my Kindle in airplane mode because A. I rarely use the wifi and B. it extends the battery life. But I'll take a look at upgrading it to the newer firmware.
