I have ready many threads describing how the AirPod Pro Gen 2 does not work with Audible on Kindles. I found this out after getting my new Kindle Paperwhite and connecting them today only to hear no sounds. Hours of time with Amazon tech wasted until read prior threads here. How can we get Apple to fix this! This is nuts.
I have been playing with this for a couple of years and multiple Apple headphones. I have not been able to get Kindle to work on AirPods Max, AirPods 4 or AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C or Lightning). Interestingly enough it works on the older Apple headphones I have, specifically the Beats Flex and the AirPods Pro 1. The only theory I have is that all of the devices it doesn't work with are on newer Bluetooth standards, notably 5.3. All my Bluetooth 4.0 headphones work fine as do all my bluetooth devices from other brands.
I was hopeful that the newer generations of Kindle would fix this issue, but it still persists on the 2024 models. I have been unable to find the Bluetooth specs on the new Kindles to follow up more on this theory.

Weird. If the AirPods work with the rest of your apps it is not a problem at Apples, side, but at Kindles side I am afraid. Their support should look into this
Maybe but other threads suggest might be on the Apple side when they upgraded to the 2nd Gen. My 1st Gen AirPods work fine with the Kindle. But the 2nd Gen.
If it is at the AirPods side you there should be issues with other apps as well, if you can use the airpods within other apps just fine it is definitely on kindles side
my kindle paperwhite does not work with my apple airpod pro 2 ear buds
AirPod Pro Gen 2 and Kindle - not working
