Can I still jailbreak it? with this method :

Also, should be registred, and ad free, or doesn't matter?

!! Put the OTA blocking directory name at the topmost, visible, level of user USB storage.
Do It Now !
Manually down load 5.9.6.1 and update your Kindle to that version.

Then follow directions for 5.9.6.1 in the thread you linked to.
Being registered and ad-free only matters if you have to recover from a bad firmware update.
So it is your own choice.
Since your device is now out of warranty (for a free exchange if bricked) ...
