USB Keyboard?
Is there any support for plugging a USB keyboard into any Kindle? On Duokan maybe? For PW2 specifically? (Assuming >5.6 gets jailbroken)

I think there is a bluetooth keyboard for the Kindle Fire but I have no idea how well they work as I don't have one as yet.

Fire is completely different story, as for e-ink reader I think it'll be much harder and even using OTG cable I'm sure it would drain it much faster.

But as the same idea I've seen somewhere x11VNCserver for Kindle (or something like that) and with help of WIFI,NETWORK,PC,TightVNC,PC_KEYBOARD maybe you can manage keyboard input, but why do you need it?

Is that "Not likely" aimed at a Jailbreak? Or the Jailbreak making it possible to add an USB keyboard?

Not likely is for newly jailbreaking 5.6.x.
