If kindle and virtualhere was open source then it may be possible.. if not then no one will bother..

I needed it because my motherboard USB is all broken
OK, this would be an option - using a small router to plug the kindle into, then have openwrt as the usbip server and connect it wirelessly to your host pc running calibre. Shouldn't be to difficult - I don't own the hardware or I might try it, but you should set it up and let us know how it goes. Openwrt is pretty easy to build and you can customize the kernel to make additional modules.

instead of usb printer, attach Kindle. Shouldn't even need to do anything to the kindle.
