Only that Amazon/Lab126 disabled the ability to downgrade the firmware version using their
customer "Update" packages a few years ago.
There is an old saying: "There are always 10% who didn't get the word (or the memo)."
Welcome to that exceptional 10%.

Follow the current jailbreak directions,
with the exception of taking the branch to the older jail break.
That is: stay with the current set of directions even when told to transfer your attention to the older jail break.
I.E: Do not skip steps #5 and #6 like everyone else with a PW-2 does. Instead, do them.
Having completed steps #5 and #6, leaves you looking at step #7 - -
Also at that point, your Kindle is jail broken (you can ignore that) and running the
factory build of firmware 5.4.3.2 -
So instead of updating in step #7 to a newer firmware, just update to the
consumer build of firmware 5.4.3.2, using the Amazon PW2 Update package for that purpose.
Then do step #8 just to complete the entire procedure.
Which will also help you if the device should accidental (your view point) update to 5.8.8.
The current jail break is at (where you should go AFTER reading the rest of this post):

I guess I don't have to tell you how to get an older than current update package from the Amazon servers.
You either know how or still have the 5.4.3.2 update package you used on your own device.

Also, consider just using our build of the Skipstone browser rather than the Amazon provided browser -
Then you can skip all of this c*** about getting the device to run only 5.4.3.2
Although I do suggest that you not run anything newer than 5.8.7.
