I'm not aware of any Kindle having audio port (besides being able to use VoiceView USB adapter but that's not exactly BT), so I guess this could be used as a list of devices that have BT - https://audible.custhelp.com/app/ans...dle-devices%3F

Someone had idea just converting the files to an Audible-compatible format and playing those, will try that in a bit - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=310960

Playing music in the first place seems to have been made possible in 2011~ but I don't think it applies today, and I bet it doesn't apply to bluetooth - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh....php?p=1482490

Did I miss anything?
Assuming that full BT audio support is present I would expect you to be able to install the mplayer built for kindle on it. I used it on my K3, which does have an earphone jack and speakers, but don't have a newer model to test this on. The mplayer build comes with a launchpad profile, but you should have no big problem creating a KUAL menu entry instead.

With mplayer installed you should be able to play any supported audio file. You can even use it to play internet audio streams, as that was my major use of it on my K3.

I would suggest having kterm installed first so that you can attempt to use mplayer first from a terminal window. That way you can see any error messages and find out if you need additional command line options to specify output via bluetooth.
