Tivo WIFI adapters are ... kinda big ... and they connect via a cable. Might a smaller flash-drive-like WIFI dongle be a better choice?
I'm not all that familiar with the Kindle's workings, or I might have a better idea of the answers to those questions already.

Being a master is a lot more than just being able to power the unit. Kindle is a slave device that talks to a computer as a master. It is not a master device and is not designed to control another slave unit so it would require a driver change. USB isn't just a serial port, it is a protocol bus master/slave system.
