I found the simple solution. Amazon support does not know this, but they should. They say that it's just too bad you can't connect your Kindle to your iPhone. They say, in slightly different words, Apple Hotspots suck.
Go to Settings>Personal Hotspot and switch on Maximize Compatibility. The Kindle immediately connected after doing this. Apple says internet performance may be reduced with this switch turned on. We'll see.
