In the meantime I've got some news. I've had it hooked up again on the wall charger since morning and it looks like the boot loop stopped for some reason, because now the display doesn't flicker anymore and the LED stays orange all the time (remember, before it was green with a short orange period everytime it rebooted). I should probably leave it like that for a few days before touching it again.

I have a an old USB to serial/parallel adapter (looks exactly like this one) that I used to communicate with my SAT receiver. Do you think the protocol works with the Kindle when I add some voltage dividers?
