I don't bother manually updating to a new version and reinstalling the rescue pack and developer cert- is that the step that I am missing? Do I need to manually update and restore those two items so that when amazon updates I don't lose the JB? I know that the JB is supposed to maintain through any updates anyways, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Your missing the "Backdoor Lock" to prevent Amazon from updating your Kindle over the air.
