Solved this with a little help from Discord Support and passthru to https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...56#post4481256 . I'll leave the thread up just in case someone else hits it.

Basically my kindle (which had been in AP mode forever) decided to pull the OTA within the moments I was online with the store. Annoying feature that, seems like there could be a DNS hostname added or something to prevent pulling in amazon stuff. Anyways, resetting the firmware by grabbing the current version I was on (for my device) from here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...MQC26VQQMM8XSW

and then following the jailbreak steps from scratch did the trick. Now to learn KOReader and get all the dang books I lost back...
