I can ping the kindle from the raspberry pi but cannot ping the pi from the kindle. When I try to ping the pi the terminal immediately pops up "Network is unreachable"

Goal is to wget screensaver images from the webserver. Of course wget fails with the same network is unreachable error as the ping did. I think the kindle is defaulting to its loopback adapter (127.0.1.1 I think) because if I ping from the kindle specifying its usb network interface:
ping -I usb0 raspberry pi address, the pings are successful.

I'd appreciate some advice, I know other have this process working but I must be missing something.

Many thanks.

On your Kindle, set your default route to device usb0
