Do you mean that you want to use the Kindle as a WiFi access point using its built-in 3G?

Perhaps the OP could explain what it is he wishes to do, and we can then provide the, er, appropriate response.

Well, he only has two choices -
One site prohibited and the other not practical.

If your Kindle has WiFi can you not get the WiFi on your computer as well?

Where is the WiFi coming from? Any WiFi router should have an ethernet socket. Relying on your neighbors' WiFi doesn't seem very practical to me. If we are dealing with WiFi on the go, then Desktops need not apply...

using a kindle you already have is always going to be cheaper than buying a cable or a wifi adapter.

O.P. wants a WiFi link: Cell Phone <-> Kindle and USBnet: Kindle <-> Rpi
With the Kindle as the access point.

It would probably be easier to configure/build the Rpi to run as an access point than the Kindle.

Plus, there is a bit of confusion about "Free Wifi" networks.
Helped a lot by various companies marketing terminology mangled usage of technical terms.

Great point!

O.T:
I once quit a customer service desk job.
As I walked out the door, I thought: "They couldn't pay me enough for this job".

Now I am doing it for free.
I definitely need my head re-examined.
