OK. Looking for filesystem issues, I plugged the Kindle into my computer and ran mount from Terminal to see where it was mounted:
dave@dave-mint ~ $ mount
...
/dev/sdc1 on /media/dave/Kindle type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed ,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks2)
That puts it at /dev/sdc1. So, I ran fsck to repair (interactively) that device. That found the "dirty bit" set (probably from my unmounting it improperly at some point). So, I told it to fix that:
sudo fsck.vfat -r /dev/sdc1
[sudo] password for dave:
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/sdc1: 3346 files, 104504/398580 clusters
Hopefully, that will stop the problem from popping up again.
