Well, the device is successfully automounted on /media/Kindle. Your subsequent commands were unnecessary ;-)
So you can simply explore it. Try putting a pdf into /media/Kindle/documents (it should show up as "Kindle" in Mint's "file explorer", and probably even on the desktop as a drive icon), and see if the file shows up on the Kindle after ejecting the drive.
If so, your problem is with Windows, not with the Kindle...

Sorry, don't understand.

Yes, that's because it tries to be intelligent (sigh). It finds a "music" folder and assumes it must be an MP3 player. Same is true if there is a DCIM folder - my Ubuntu always thinks that my phone is a camera. Just ignore that and use it as an actual drive.
