Thank you.
I couldn't check that myself and I had forgotten that it switched to "charging" mode.
So the process would be to reverse (on the Kindle) the switch to "charging" mode;
Re-enable the "device gadget" kernel module (if it was removed by the switch);
and then - if those changes where not auto-detected by the host end OS - do a "re-attach" at the host end.
At which point, the answer to the O.P's question is: No.
If the host end OS does auto-detect the mode-change at the device (Kindle) end, then the process above should do the job.
In which case the answer to the O.P's question is: Yes.
All too complicated for me - I would rather just unplug/plug the cable.
