What you see over the USB port is an USB mass storage export of the kindle's /mnt/us partition.
The best way I know of to learn what your computer is seeing is to look at the last 10 lines or so of the output of the dmesg command on your computer to get a baseline, then connect the kindle over USB and run dmesg again.
You should be able to look up your kindle on your "Manage Your Content and Devices" page at amazon.com and among the things listed is the device serial number, the first 6 or 8 characters of which will determine the exact model.
If your computer is trying to auto mount, it may be using incorrect parameters. The output of dmesg might help know the correct mount parameters to use.

Thanks for info re dmesg. I don't have the kindle with me right now, so acting on this must await my next trip to town in a day or two (I live entirely off grid and only get internet access in cafes or the library)
Got serial #s: the new kindle is G091 0L04 ..., the original was G090 G105...
