Thanks
You do not have to 'go up the chain'.
The PW-2 has always used the 'full image' updates.
It never used the 'incremental' style updates.
Just pick the one you want to run.

If you want to stay with a firmware version that can still be jailbroken if something goes wrong in the future, then:
Go to current jail break:

Scroll down to Step #7 -
In section: "Amazon" -
Open spoiler -
Pick from the list for your device, I only included versions that can still be jail broken.

With everything updated as you posted, your jail break will survive (and auto-reinstall) following the Amazon update.
It will also survive an update to newer versions than the ones I list, it is just with those there is "no going back" if you change your mind.
