That being out of the way, you guys seemed like a helpful bunch of hackers willing to help another one out. So I figured that maybe if I could get it working on my Mac OSX that it might help future generations of people who are also trying to get the same thing done.
I think this sub-forum used to be like that. Maybe it will be again someday.

But you should know that the raspberry pi runs linux and OSX is based on BSD. Both are unix like, but many of their commands are different, especially the networking commands.

You need to get usb networking help from OSX experts.

Once you have usb networking setup on your mac, your kindle might work.

If you don't have a raspberry pi, you can get one for $25. You could use that to find out whether you need help with the kindle.
