The more modern Kindle devices don't have a physical keyboard (I've tried typing on my wife's Kindle Paperwhite, it's not a pleasant experience) and are harder to mod. What you're looking for is a Kindle 2 or Kindle 3 (AKA "Kindle Keyboard") which can boot a light version of Ubuntu[1], or you can just add a SSH client to the existing Kindle software[2]. Get the 3G version and you have a SSH client that works practically anywhere.
