Yes - that is the one we will be shipping to NiLuJe.

You only need to connect the Tx, Rx, Gnd leads, tape back the others.

You might want to pop for that tube of conductive paint on the same page you linked to -
then you can skip the hot soldering of tiny connects.

You will want to use short lengths of 30ga wire to connect to the Kindle, not those monster sized (24ga) wires of the adapter cable directly.

Don't forget to glue the wires in-place, for a strain relief - those pads pull off the board real easy.
a 5-minute epoxy spots make good strain reliefs.

I will probably be installing a low profile, 2.5mm stereo jack in the top edge of his PW-3 rather than make a non-removable attachment.
