This is one of those things I am kinda "noobish" at.

I got the AdbWinApi.dll "driver" from the android sdk. The cooglecode fastboot.exe works now, but my kindle battery seems to be mostly dead now. It does not seem to be charging in this mode. I had it plugged into an adapter overnight.

TIA.
If fastboot can see your device, then you're in fastboot mode. The only way of getting into fastboot is writing "fastboot" into the bootmode var of IDME. This is either using the "idme" command from a shell, in uboot, or in fastboot itself. The diags menu allow has an option "reboot into fastboot" which does this for you, and that is the cause of OP's problem. Because once the "bootmode" var is written, it is in the MMC and doesn't "reset" on boot.
