Hello all,
Just attempted to Jailbreak my Paperwhite tonight running FW 5.8.9.2 (3179290002)
Grabbed the images from the Snapshot post, extracted kindle-jb-factory-1.3-r16160.tar.xz -> kindle-jb-factory-1.3-r16160.tar -> kindle-jb-factory-1.3-r16160

Placed main-htmlviewer.tar.gz on the highest directory when plugging via USB into my Win7 machine.

Ran the search (;installHtml, hit return)
Nothing happened. waited a few minutes, repeated.
Power cycled the device and it looked like it ran through some sort of update on boot, but still no change, don't see any document saying "You are Jailbroken"

Any ideas? Did I miss a step somewhere?
