I've found for some devices that don't play nice the Universal driver from Koush does get them working - http://www.droid-life.com/2013/04/08/koush-releases-universal-adb-driver-for-windows/ but for the Kindle I've always had the KindleDrivers.exe from https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html do the trick
