There is only so much good headphones can achieve, unless the base sound quality is good it's still just noise. we had a cheaper brand head unit in the kombi, fed into a stereo amplifier, the sound wsn't too bad, the head unit finally crapped itself so i plugged the headphone output from the laptop into the RCA inputs of the stereo amp, the difference was very noticable, what I thought was speakers past their use by date turned ou to be just a crappy head unit, the new head unit was so much better the added $$ soome fadded from memory.
Now, if the new Kindle Fire has good sound quality I could feed that into the head unit, we would have a music list display as a bonus, then an e book for night time use, sounds like the way to go.

A side-benefit of the Fire over the Touch is the FIRE has back-lit LED HD screen... can watch movies on it at night! Or read - without external lighting. SWMBO's Touch requires a small LED flip-over light stored on back of (real leather) cover. There are other variants on covers available. But <Readershop.com.au> had this one at a good price - $20 I think.
