Of course, won't be attempting to flash other kindle model's firmware (I knew it was a bad idea...).
The command syntax should be available to search engines if you can't find it here (it is posted somewhere).
IIRC:
fastboot <action> <destination> <file>
But look it up, don't trust my memory.
The Kindle fastboot is based on the Android application of the same name, so the command syntax should be same or similar even if the command set is different.
man fastboot
Code:
