Device: kindle2
[kindle2] mounted read only on linux

Hello I use debian jessie, I tried to use the kindle without problems on windows.
When I connect the device on linux it tells me:
Code:
DeviceError: The main memory of KINDLE2 is read only. This usually happens because of file system errors.
So I did:
Code:
sudo fsck.vfat -r /dev/sdb1
fsck.fat 3.0.26 (2014-03-07)
0x41: Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt.
1) Remove dirty bit
2) No action
? 1
Perform changes ? (y/n) y
/dev/sdb1: 42 files, 10279/177743 clusters
then:

Code:
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
Unplug and plug again the usb calbe. Start Calibre but still it gives the same problem. And if I try to do the fsck again it gives me the same result:

Code:
sudo fsck.vfat -r /dev/sdb1
fsck.fat 3.0.26 (2014-03-07)
0x41: Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt.
1) Remove dirty bit
2) No action
? 1
Perform changes ? (y/n) y
/dev/sdb1: 42 files, 10279/177743 clusters
So I have no idea what to try now.
