If the third field of your firmware version number: 5.8.7.0.1 is larger than 7 this jail break will not work on your device.
That means it will not work on: 5.8.8, 5.8.9, 5.8.10, ..., 5.8.99999999.
Please do not even think of asking if this message still means what is written. The message is kept current.
You may want to Update this text. As halentech stated in this Thread, a downgrade from 5.8.10 to 5.7.4 is possible (at least in some cases).

The same approach worked for me too (new Kindle PaperWhite 3 White (2015) WiFi, G090KB, 5.8.10).

What i did withy my new kindle:
1. skipped wlan connection
2. created "update.bin.tmp.partial" folder via usb
3. backuped my folders
4. connected to amazon once
5. downgraded to 5.7.4
6. stuck in Tree Screen - connected usb, cmd diskpart, kindle starts
7. flashed Kindle Factory Image Generic Jailbreak - main-html
8. flashed jailbreak hotfix - JailBreak-1.14.N-FW-5.x-hotfix.zip
9. flashed newest update https://s3.amazonaws.com/firmwaredow...hite_5.9.2.bin

10. keep asking me what to flash, since the main reason to buy and jailbreak - WebLaunch - doesn´t works anymore
