Did anybody get the windows version to work right? I have not tried that yet.

You could run the linux one in VirtualBox after you share the device with that VID:PID with the linux OS. In VirtualBox, hovering over the USB device in the drop down menu shows its VID:PID.
And how do you boot Kindle in fastboot mode in Linux?
I boot Kindle in fastboot in Windows, reboot PC in Ubuntu and
Code:
sudo lsusb
doesn't show anything like "x01949/0xd0d0". So fastboot waiting for device like it should I suppose.

What is root in Windows?
