edit:

I had many drivers installed , so I deleted the ones I was using, and

reinstall Kindle driver.exe, and couldn't get adb to work, so I retried adb-setup-1.4.2.exe

and seems that was what is working.

Edit #2: another Driver option here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63099222&postcount=28

Edit 3#: also Kindle_Fire_HD_ADB_Drivers.zip should work
