Can he get on this server thru his kindle or do i need to get him a pc version of the game (and where).
Sorry to be ignorant but i just haven't looked into it that much.

You'll need the pc version which you can find at
http://www.minecraft.net, as long as you have a legit account you'll be able to download the launcher for free.
You'll need to play at the servers version which is 1.7.9, 1 version behind the normal one.
To do this in the easiest way, you start the launcher (not the actual game, aka start the minecraft application but don't log in) and create a new profile which you set to play at version 1.7.9, this will allow you to switch between profiles by restarting according to your needs.
here's a quick pic i made demonstrating that, I'm using a MAC version as I haven't downloaded minecraft on my PC VM, but it should give you the general guidelines.
A tip is to name your profile in a memorable way according to it's use (such as including 1.7.9 in the name).
Hope this helped ^^
