I have been using the English language now for nearly 3/4 of a century - and I still can't get things right at times.
Well, it sounds like I need to run through the JB process fully when I have the chance and then load the version just below 5.8.5 (5.8.2.1) as my OS of choice.

Really appreciate the help with this. The info you guys have put together on all of this is invaluable.

UPDATE: Just reinstalled the "Initial Factory" firmware without needing to re-JB. Then was able to move directly to 5.8.2.1 without issue. Now just have to reinstall my tools.

Awesome and easy. Thought I would have to run through the whole process.

For the record it did not work as I thought... but after removing from device and pulling my books back from the Amazon cloud all my covers came back. I just updated this in case anyone else has this issue.
