Hi again. I've got root (woohoo!). But I can't get the kindle to mount as a USB drive on my computer. Is there a command I could do, or file I could edit perhaps on the kindle, to force it into USB Mass Storage Device mode?

My Windows and Mac computers can see the device when connected via USB, but don't mount any volumes, and don't give any error. The Windows PC shows a greyed-out volume (F:\) when I right-click on the "Amazon Kindle" device in Devices and Printers. The Mac shows the "Amazon Kindle" in the System Information USB Device Tree, with the following details:

Amazon Kindle:

Product ID: 0x0004
Vendor ID: 0x1949 (Lab126)
Version: 1.00
Serial Number: (REDACTED)
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Amazon
Location ID: 0xfa123000 / 8
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 2
Extra Operating Current (mA): 0
