I used this device USB UART Bridge CP2104 its voltage level is adjustable from 1,8V - 5V over the VIO-pin.
Therefor I placed the missing 2,54 cm pinstripes and used jumperwires for the connections.
Normaly I playing around with microprocessors and arduinoboards, so I have plenty leying around...

I made the hack on a KindleTouch2 it has the same FW (5.6.1.) like a PW2 but a little different hardware, so Im afraid you have to get other solderpoints on the device.
and I took the lvl of the kindle, like knc1 told in his KT2 Exposed Thread

On the picture:
white cable = VIO (1,8V)
black cable = GND (getting same potentials)
purple cable = Tx
gray cable = Rx
