What is your pin to pin configuration from the kindle to pc?
I kinda confused on the pin configuration. Which Com 1 configuration is correct?
Kindle: Com 1 Com 1
GND Pin 5 GND Pin 5 GND
RX Pin 2 RX Pin 3 TX
TX Pin 3 TX Pin 2 RX
Thanks..

The voltage levels of a standard serial port on your PC is **far higher** (nearly 7 times) than that which the Kindle's SoC can tolerate.
You should use a 1.8 volt (not 12 volt) serial port.
OR
Use a USB-to-Serial adapter with the serial side set for 1.8 volt operation.
