The Wifi recipe here, I think it assumes you have a Wifi router
and are not attempting an Adhoc connection. Adhoc is Wifi point to
point, whereas infrastructure assumes a router.

Some of the Kindles use Android as their OS, and may share
features with it.

The OP didn't say these exact words but using a cable to connect (at
least on my old paper white) makes it look like an external HD on
Windows 8.

I'm reading between the lines, but I think the OP might have wanted to
know (or I would be interested in hearing) how you connect to the device
via the network. Can you use a browser to see 192.168.1.x, ftp to it,
telnet to it, or browse via explorer?
