The device is recognized and recognized as having a single partition.
I.E: device sdc, partition sdc1
I don't recognize the system you got this dump from, so I can't say if it auto-mounted it...
To check:
And see if /dev/sdc1 is listed in the left most column.
(If so, then your system automounted it, and may have even opened a file browser on it for you.)
A typical line in the report would probably look similar to:

/dev/sde1 on /media/A80E-9247 type vfat
|
(That's the dos disk volume id being used as the mount point name above, your Kindle storage may not have a "dos disk id".)
Browsing that directory is actually browsing the file system on the kindle.
If it didn't auto-mount, then try mounting it yourself:
The typical place is on a directory under /mnt
Make up some directory name, like: kindle
Code:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/kindle
sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/kindle
Similar to the automounted case above, only now you access it as /mnt/kindle
(Which would be /mnt/us when it is viewed from the Kindle.)
To "release" the device with the file system on it - you have to unmount it.
The command (in either case here) is:
Note: Only one 'n' in the unmount command.
You will have to pause a bit after the 'umount' command while the system flushes the vfat buffers to the device. Give it 10 to 15 seconds to catch up.
Now unplug the USB cable, the Linux system on the Kindle will recognize that unplug event, do its internal magic, and make it available to the Kindle applications again.
