JBpatch has not been updated for that firmware version.
But LibrarianSync works (it requires Python installed).
It can build the local collections database from either the directory structure under /documents or from a Calibre collections export (requires a Calibre add-on).
Take any packages that you use from NiLuJe's snapshot thread:

Note that MrPI is a batch-mode installer, put all *.bin packages you want in /mrpackages and trigger MrPI once.

I am not really sure what you want to tell me with your post.
I understand now, that the older firmware version I installed to jailbreak my device does not support the amazon communication anymore, and therefore I could not acquire my collections from there. And after the update back to 6.5.1.1 the communication works again and I was able to get my collections back from the servers.
I think you mean, that I could have used LibrarianSync to recover my collections instead of updating my device. Do you want to tell me with the information about "JBpatch not being updated to 5.6" that it would be an advantage for me when I stay on the older but supported firmware version, because there is a bigger variety of extensions, than on the newer version?
Since I do not "miss" any function right now on 5.6.1.1 with jb, I do not see a point in using the older version... If there are qol extensions, which no one should miss, available in the older version, I would definitely downgrade again. But I have not found any interesting extension yet, besides the one that allows me to turn off the light entirely...
If there is a list of extensions which everyone should have tried, I would happily try them, but I have not found such a list yet. (besides the full list with all tools...)
