Thanks for the reply. It doesn't seem to have an easy way to do this on kindle?

My original purpose was to develop a program with an input from a PC keyboard and display the program on an Eink display. I actually wanted to buy an E-ink display, but they do not seem to sell a single unit. Moreoever, it seems to be very difficult to use a single Eink display.

Then I thought I might be able to use a Kindle. Currently I developped my program on a PC and use your Kindlevncviewer to display the same thing on the kindle. Therefore, I am able to control the input using my keyboard. But the program with the VNCviewer is that it takes various time to refresh each frame and the FPS rate is low.

I think the native kindlet must be able to run at much higher speed (FPS), but then it doesnt support a keyboard input......

It boils down to have a proper interface. USB host mode might be the low-hanging fruit. Other options that come to my mind are some mediating computers, like e.g. a microcontroller (or for a start, a full fledged PC, like, say, the raspberry pi).
