Thanks a lot for response.
I got extremely scared when I opened that page I am rather new Mac user. But, I will try to do whatever they are talking about and see if I can and if it works. Will report back if I manage.

OK. I get this:
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *1.5 GB disk1
1: DOS_FAT_32 Kindle 1.5 GB disk1s1

Now. Should i delete fat 32 file by typing
sudo fsck_msdos /dev/disk1s1?

Because when I type that I get
