That question / problem may take some time to solve.
The way my K5 Paperwhite behaved lead me to think they have the registration process hardcoded to us the Wifi connection.
Can you PC act as a WiFi access point?
That would be one way to provide the Kindle with its required Wifi connection.
Can you add a WiFi access point to your PC?
(That is the way my Kindle reached the Internet to register - worked great.)
You will very likely want to use our Collections Manger for your e-book collection.
That will require that you have "Jailbreak" the Kindle.
Your firmware version of 5.3.3 can not be Jailbroken.
But you can install the Amazon firmware version 5.3.1, Jailbreak that, then upgrade back to version 5.3.3
Directions in the forum here.
Once that is done (the Jailbreak) - then you could also install the USBnetwork package.
That, plus some special purpose routing and firewall rules, would make the Kindle re-direct everything to/from the Wifi device to the USB networking device (with your PC on the other end of the cable).
I have not done that myself to a Kindle - but I am familar enough with the features of the Linux network stack to know it can be done.
