You are not the first to report a similar circumstance -
OTA update of a jail broken device will not boot properly.
Although impossible to tell from here, there is a good chance that the "jail break survival code" has not (yet) run after the update.
So realizing there is a good chance you will lose the jail break and not be able to restore it - - -
During the re-boot process, the system should, **very briefly** export user storage over USB cable (so brief that you will need to have the cable connected before and during the re-boot).
Your goal is to put a file at the top of the (briefly) visible USB storage.
The name of the file is:
DO_FACTORY_RESTORE
All caps, no extension of any kind, no contents required.
The USB storage will probably be available too briefly for a person to type the name, you will have to get your PC to do it for you.
So, what PC / PC OS do you have that you can connect the Kindle to?
If Windows - do you have PowerShell installed?
# 14 700 - Who? Me? Windows? Get real.

Thanks very much for the swift advice knc1. Unfortunately I cannot remember if I did step 7 as it was many months ago and I didn't keep a record. However, given it's part of the sequence and there's no "this is optional" I'd be fairly confident I would have updated.
Either way, I managed to get the factory reset file trick to work, so thank you very much for the suggestion.
I assume I can now jailbreak again if I want to (making sure I definitely complete step 7)?
Thanks again.
