Prefix Index ->
Hardware:Serial Port ->
Serial Port Information ->
1v8 serial adapter level shifter ->
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=162775

Which is a level shifter that allows use of 3v3 (or 5v0) adapter with the 1v8 Kindle ports.

But until the MicroFTX card is available (again) . . . .

FTDI has a number of distributors, world-wide, from which you can order the ::
TTL-232RG-VREG1V8-WE (internal reference) or
TTL-232RG-VIP-WE (external reference) adapter cable.
(Hint: just google the desired part number above)
