As others have already mentioned, Kindle do not support advanced standards so there is no gain in using them.

What is the typical range of these routers? I live in a 3-bedroom home + full basement. My house isn't all that big. Are there any devices (cordless phone, appliances, etc) that could possibly interfere with the signal?

The range is limited by maximum signal strength allowed by regulations for these devices therefore the router model has little impact on the range. The location of the router and type of walls are the biggest factors.
Kindle will not use much bandwidth (hint: it does not display video). If you need Wi-Fi only for Kindle, I would recommend to configure it running in b/g mode only if possible. It limits the speed but works better in poor signal conditions as it does not try to deliver the bandwidth that the Kindle does not need.
