Our "serial port for dummies" (or words like that) is quite complete.
Other than specifics for the "Androidized" device/firmware combinations (such as the PW4 IIRC).
A couple of years old, without specific details for a Kindle client or a non-Debian server....
The general process reads like:

Hey, You have to make this stuff up as you go along, you can't expect Amazon/Lab126 to be writing e-book tutorials.
On the subject of PW4 firmware releases (not including the initial, first shipped, release):
