IMHO we should be able to get those from Amazon under the GPL, who wants to write the letter?

What kind of toolchain are you using and what kind of error are you getting?
I just tried a buildroot with glibc and gcc-4.7 and got:

Theoretically the i.MX508 supports OTG on one of its two USB ports, however I suspect that that one is used to drive the 3G-modem...

There are basically two options, netboot (as mentioned by knc1) and kexec. Although kexec is not built into the kernel, so one would have to modify it so it works as a module (I think this was possible at some point, but the kernel devs disabled it on purpose).

@knc1: Is it somehow possible to do netboot without serial access? I do not wnat to tear my kindle apart.
