I thought of that and almost put it into the suggestion post but left it out.

I also suggest using an external powered hub, the Kindle(s) are low power devices and that may not even be a full 5v USB interface port.

But first, have to figure out if we can make it work in host mode.

Note:
The 3G models use a USB-3G modem/radio and another interesting thing to play with (which also uses USB_modeswitch):

Anyone interested, don't wait for me, my todo list is already pretty long.
