P.S: Android is also run by a Linux kernel, (with the exception of one system call) it is only user-land that is different.
I am well aware of that - however the setup is so different that it would mean a reworking of the whole system the kindle uses. Thats a lot of development time just to get rid of a serial port.

There is a provisioning system that works over USB for the Kindle without a doubt. But I would bet that it just uses the Update system. I don't think it deals with truly "bricked" devices.
