All of the above -
the ground side should be common to all the components - Kindle, adapter, interface power.

It would help a lot if you posted a link to this adapter's data sheet that you are using, or at least a link to the adapter's web page so that we can find the data sheet.

PS: Why go to all this trouble? Just report it "broke" to Amazon - get it exchanged.
