will take succesfully with the version of firmware previously updated OTA by
Amazon, in my case 5.10.1.3).
In other words, either 5.10.1.3 is a factory image or I don't need to load a specific factory image to execute the jailbreak ?
Thanks for your time

Since neither the location nor our certificate has changed for the life time of the Kindle devices so far - - -
It is fairly certain that it is firmware version and firmware build type in-dependent.
(Only the software delivery vector has changed over time, as required by other firmware changes.)
1) put our certificate at top most visible level of USB storage.
2) disconnect USB cable.
3) at Kindle command line:
mv -f /mnt/us/<cert-file-name> /etc/uks
Done.
Everything else can be done via the software jb instructions.
