I think UDP would make things a lot simpler. Authentication is probably completely unnecessary. All you need is a way to send simple commands to the Kindle. The fact that Multicast UDP means you don't even need to know the ip address of the kindle is even better. Quite nice to be able to have SSH set-up separately as well so you don't have to have SSH running all the time if you don't need/want it.
I don't know much about networking/socket programming/ssh, so these thoughts are just based on my limited knowledge and what I've read.
