I'm not sure either, but I think it's based on the USB port. So you'd have to be sure of plugging the device into the same port every time. (But don't take my word for that.)

Nope. The USB port doesn't matter, the "disk ID" embedded in the boot sector of the drive does. So unless you completely reformat your Kindle drive (including rewriting the Master Boot Record), it should always be recognized as the same device.
