Yes. That is how the PC treats it, and that is how the Android device treats it as well. Why are you trying to create problems where none need exist?
Where did I suggest that the Kindle act as a host device to
mount the Android (?!?!) as removable storage?
This really isn't complicated.
When the Kindle is connected via USB, it attempts to export the userstore as Removable Storage, in the manner of a flashdrive. That is how it will show up on a PC.
Android devices are not PCs, and don't recognize "flashdrives", like the Kindle
or like a traditional flashdrive.
Using a USB On-The-Go cable, you can physically connect a USB2.0 drive anyway. Using certain apps, you can tell the Android to mount the USB2.0 drive, just like it already mounts MicroSD cards, and just like PCs already mount the selfsame USB2.0 drives.
The Kindle, when connected via USB to anything, manifests as a USB2.0 drive.
The USB2.0 drive with the label "Kindle" will be mounted to the Android device.
