I've tried the standard jailbreak tools and they do not seem to work although they have not had any effect on the device. I have Wi-Fi disabled to prevent the device from updating to any more recent Firmware Version and have not to date registered the device with Amazon.

Any books currently on the device have been sideloaded with Calibre. I'd like to jailbreak mainly to use nested folders so would appreciate any help available from the community.
Kindles do not support nested folders.
The firmware has a flat world view of directory structure under /documents.
Nor do they support nested collections if that is what you have in mind.

With some instances of 5.8.9.0.1 it can be jailbroken.
Go directly to step 5 - try that.
If it doesn't work, then you do not have an instance of 5.8.9.0.1 that can be jailbroken.
