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.
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.

The difference between dmesg, before and after plugging kindle in usb, is:

Apparently kindle has changed their storage management since I bought my first model, and its no longer possible to simply open it as a vfat device.
