But when I try to copy the *.bin file, it disappears and the kindle update option is greyed out. Is there a work around to being able to downgrade this OS version or am I stuck with it for now?
No. 5.8.8+ is not downgradeable to factory firmware, so no existing jailbreak mechanism works. (However, a PW that is already jailbroken prior to an upgrade to 5.8.9 will remain so.)
