@checkmermaid: Did you perform the step of verifying the MD5 checksum before copying the file to your kindle?

I suggest that you hold off on doing anything else just yet, give the world of Kindle users time to make other reports on 5.8.8.
I would like to read some more attempts by people on other devices before I change the "on any known firmware version" phrase of the top post.
Notes:
*) I don't have a PW-2 to use in confirming this observation.
*) The 5.8.8 firmware update is being pushed to all PW-2 and newer models (all of the i.MX6 devices, older devices are not being updated).
*) There is another (not documented as such) jailbreak method available for some of these models, but not for all of them.
(Without geekmaster and NiLuJe's help, it may never be released as a jailbreak, it is too big a job for myself working alone.)

Thank you guys for replying.
I'm pretty sure that I download the correct factory image for my PW2 since it has a very different version other than PW1 or PW3 (the version for PW2 is 5.4.3.2)
I also checked the md5, and it was matched with the original md5 file as well.
Therefore, I guess that either Amazon put some extra effort for the PW2 models, or my model did not meet the requirement, but I did everything in the pre-requisite steps, including unsubscribing from special offers.
