Did anybody make Windows fastboot version work properly?
For the linux VM to see the kindle, you need to assign it to the VM in the drop-down VirtualBox menu (Devices / USB Devices / Kindle [0001]). That will remove it from the host OS (no longer shown in Device Manager), and the linux VM should then see it.

A USB device can only be seen by the host OS -or- the VM (not both)...

And be sure to run fastboot as root (sudo) in linux, or it will not be fully functional.
