The problem is assigned network changes every time. And now I can't have a convenient stfp bookmark in my file manager app to transfer files. I have to look up the IP address in the kindle and then change the bookmark accordingly.
Example of assigned IP: 10.171.131.210 or 10.69.217.210

How would I go about assigning static LAN IP address to my kindle when connecting?
You would need to set up things on your Android. Android acts as a router for your Kindle, so it's Android that determines ip adresses of devices connected to its hotspot. It's not something that I've looked into, so it's possible that there's no way to set up static IP.
