Some Kindles have internal pads or connections for TTL serial (The DXG seems to have two!), often labelled on the PCB. I never heard of a USB serial adaptor working on a Kindle eInk eReader (needs driver and host mode), more likely NDIS over USB or Serial over USB would be supported as that works even with a "dumb" client only USB port.
as that doesn't even need host mode, only
Ok, But the TTL-232RG-VREG1V8-WE is the same USB TTL from [2], What I want to know is if my exact model has the pins to connect as explained in that article called "Kindle Voyage 5.6.2.1 Serial Jailbreak Step-by-Step", because in that article it is explained on a different model to mine, on a different firmware version (this last I do not think it matters)...
