Ubuntu might be using a password hash not compatible with the kindle. Although MD5 and crypt hashes are common, it *could* be stored as SHA-1. Does the hash start with $1$ (i.e. MD5)?
You can copy a hash from the /etc/shadow- backup, or from the shadow on the diags partition (but you need to mount it first).
