This mode is mentioned in the GPL source code for the Kindles. It is a fallback mode for charging a Kindle from the USB port with a depleted battery, such that most of the electronics in the Kindle are turned off (including the SDRAM memory) so that it draws no more than 100mA. It uses the same USB VID/PID as "normal" mass storage mode.
Are you sure that your battery has a full charge? Kindles charge well in fastboot mode, from my experience, but they need *some* charging from a wall charger to get into fastboot mode, if battery is TOO discharged.
