First of all, file ~/Kindle/usbnet/etc/config
# NOTE: The K4 has a specific default HOST_IP=192.168.15.201 KINDLE_IP=192.168.15.244
To get the real identifier of network interface dmesg | grep usb0 (enp0s20f0u2)
Assign ip
sudo ifconfig enp0s20f0u2 192.168.15.201
Launch vncserver in terminal. To get :port which vncserver is listening to:
netstat -tulpn tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4350/Xtightvnc
Connect to Kindle ssh root@192.168.15.244
In Kindle terminal:
/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/kvncviewer.sh 192.168.15.201:5901 &
Result:

It's 2019, but kindle apparently thinks it is 2011. There was no password prompt, so not clear where the password has to come from.
On Kindle killall kindlevncviewer
On pc sudo ifconfig enp0s20f0u2 down
vncserver -kill :1
By the way, disabling updates by renaming /etc/uks to e.g. /etc/uks.disabled is not successful, because the system is mounted in read only mode.
