The issue I see, is the Kindle is the (storage) Device end of a USB. Now the driver needs to flip and make it a Host (detect a device has been attached)
Some kindles are not wired to detect a device attached. The software needs to be told to actively switch modes and LOOK for a device. And for some kindles you may need external power (splitter cable or powered hub). We just need somebody to write a KUAL extension for that, eh?
