There are many ways that you can write distributed programs to run on both of them. The simplest (for the programmer) way is called "LAMP" (Linux, Apache, Mysql, Perl/Python/PHP). You would need to install a web server and some other apps on the RasPi (or on the kindle) depending on which way you want to do it.

Or for a much more lightweight installation, you can write pieces of an app in C to run on both devices and communicate over USB. You are limited only by your imagination and the effort you are willing to dedicate to learn how to do it.
