Need clarification of an installation step

Did I misinterpret the installation instructions? Are we supposed to extract the zip file into customupdates, rather than copy it into customupdates?

Thanks again.

UPDATE: I figured out a way to get Librerator to work. Instead of copying the zip file to customupdates and typing "Shift Shift I", I copied the zip file to the Kindle's usb root folder and extracted the zip contents. (I used 7zip to "extract here" but you can use your favorite unzip utility.) Then I deleted the zip file and the unneeded kite folder.

I recommend this workaround be included in the instructions in the first message, for use when "Shift Shift I" fails to install Librerator.
