The layout of the first post is just a tradeoff made for clarity and what's popular at the time (i.e., breaking brand new devices).
Thank you! I will update my Kindle to a firmware pre 5.12.2 then, and use the KindleBreak approach.

Maybe a short paragraph could be added to the first post, to help those (like me...) who arrive late to the whole Kindle jailbreak story get their bearings? Something like:

This post focuses on the most recent jailbreak method, "WatchThis", which can be used with relatively modern firmware versions up to 5.14.2. If you have an older Kindle with a firmware before version 5.12.2, the "KindleBreak" method may offer an easier alternative -- seen the following post in that case.
[Off-topic question: While I did not have any problems making my first couple of posts here, the more recent ones have all been sent through moderation. And the Quick Response I typed a few minutes ago has disappeared without any message or trace. Am I doing something wrong or did I misbehave? ]
