Note, this is an antique thread and you should have started a new one and, perhaps, referenced this oldie with a link.
That said, with some source devices you may need a stereo>mono adapter in the chain. With TTS, the voice will almost always to send equally to both output channels so using a simple mono cable or a stereo cable without the stereo>mono adapter will get all of the audio information.
The primary problem is that the headphone output from the source device (K3 Keyboard in your case) is a massively stronger signal than a microphone input, on the recording device, is designed to handle. You may be able to adjust the Kindle's volume low enough to work. Failing that, you need to track down a patch cord or adapter that contains a "limiting resistor" to reduce the signal level.
If your computer has a set of Aux level audio inputs in addition to the microphone input things can be easier. You simply use a stereo patch cable with a 3.5mm stereo plug on one end, to connect to the Kindle, and a pair of RCA Phono plugs on the other, to connect to the Left and Right Aux inputs on the computer. Aux level inputs can generally handle most headphone output signals, though the output volume will need to be set fairly low.
