I managed to root my 10.3.1 KFOT just yesterday! I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075959
My post thanking the OP is at the end of that thread with a note on the drivers. There have been mixed results using the drivers linked in the original post.

Rooting Kindle Fire HD

I found out that the version of Binary that I was trying to use from the first rooting guide I found was the wrong one to root my kindle fire hd 7 so i did a simple google search for the most recent version and tried again and success! I used another guide to do the rest. I would have posted at thank you but Im a noob here and they dont allow you to post on development pages till you help at least ten people. owell if I can help someone find the easiest guide or find out what they are doing wrong I will feel good about it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909

He gave you the wrong instructions. Those are for the 7" HD version.

Also, uninstall all previous drivers and use the ones from here. Install them manually in device manager.

I was having that problem too. After installing the whole SDK and adding the drivers for the kindle, everything worked fine.

That'll work. The SDK installs the newer (functional) adb

Kindle drivers from the SDK

Just to follow up for anyone who wants to install the driver from the Android SDK, the OP from the thread I linked to earlier, posted the below on how to exactly get the Kindle driver showing in the SDK and then installing it:

I received a message from a user saying that 10.3.1 was rooted with this method.

As for others with driver problems, a lot of users are using the drivers from the SDK, and it seems to be working, I didn't have any issues using Qemu's drivers so if they don't work try that method.

In the SDK click Tools up top>Manage add-on sites then click the 2nd tab "User defined sites"

Add http://kindle-sdk.s3.amazonaws.com/addon.xml to the list, then go back to the main screen, scroll down to the folder "Extras" there should be a "Kindle fire usb driver" install that then it should automatically recognize the device the next time you hook up your kindle.

NOTE: Uninstall the drivers that you are currently using as they will interfere with these, (uninstall it from the device in device manager, then delete a folder in C:\program files\ called Amazon, then perform a fresh install with the sdk)

i had to spoof my drivers for my kfhd 7 which if anyone wants that information lemme know, I'll be happy to post how to do this.

I'll just add that after you download the driver from the SDK, its not automatically installed to the PC - its only installed in the SDK...The installation file "KindleDrivers.exe" needs to be run manually and is found in the following path: [C:\AndroidSDK\extras\amazon\kindle_fire_usb_driver]
