I didn't find a manual with the PL2303 but I avoided that problem by making a level shifter circuit. Now when I connect everything, boot up the Kindle and measure the voltage on the Kindle I get
Tx - GND: 1.8v
Rx - GND: 0.9v
The Rx-LED on the PL2303 flashes every so often.

After that I followed this tutorial on how to set up minicom but where it says:

I don't get anything on the minicom screen. I have set the correct device (on my machine it's also ttyUSB0 like in the tutorial), 115200 bps and no flow control. I have tried with and without external power supply (usb micro).
Remove the Rx-LED as the warning in the level shifter recommends.
