"factory initial" means:
The first image that is ever loaded on a device, while still in the factory, solely for the purpose of production testing.
It is not intended to be used anywhere but on the assembly line.
And is normally replaced with the customer firmware before shipment.

The only reason we use it, is because it can be jail broken.
But your device is already jail broken, so what is the point?
Then I am getting confused, I have gone back from 5.8.7 to 5.4.3.2 initial.

I got to step 6 but I cannot install the jailbreak hotfix as per instructions. So I simply stop now and run the kindle as is? ie I am not to care about the reest of the instructions? so I assume I can jump to the later steps and stop the Kindle "automagically" upgrading?
