OOH, if my assumption about MX31 is correct ATK documentation doesn't give us much hope:

Code:
The MX31 T01 chip does not support connecting the COM
port using a USB UART cable. This is because the UART is
set to use Odd parity with two stop bits, which is not
supported when using the USB UART cable in ROM codes.
Fortunatly, I *do* have bluetooth serial in this Kindle (not a good tradeoff for it's battery life), so I have to try it out :-)

Update: Bluetooth connection, while very useful for wireless access to DXG is useless for boot console and messages because it disconnects on reset.
If you use a custom uboot image (similar to how MfgTool is used for K4/K5 select boot), it should be able to be modified to reprogram the serial port for USB-compatible serial parity. Right?
