The "serial ... for dummies" (no insult intended, just the re-use of a popular line of book titles) thread has either in-line or links to ways of connecting the serial port that does not require hot soldering skills.
Amazon / Lab126 did not make it easy on the devices newer than the K3.
Note: All models K4 and up to, but not including the KOA use the same connector pin-out.
And there are a lot of "used, not working, for parts" Kindles on the market (and often working much better than the seller realizes once a person familar with the devices spends some time on them).
