I see that it has a checkbox, and you are root. But lsusb shows the WRONG value. The kindle VID is 0x1949 (lab126), but the PID is NOT 0xd0d0 (fastboot mode).

You need to put your kindle into fastboot mode. That can be done with MfgTool and the custom profiles provided in the "Select Boot" thread. Then you will need to reselect it in the VirtualBox menu so it has a checkbox, just like you did here (but for the wrong kindle bootmode).

When you successfully get your kindle into fastboot mode and selected in the Devices menu of VirtualBox, fastboot should stop "waiting for device" and request the bootmode idme var from the kindle, then display it.
