This points to an error with either the cable that you're using, the USB port of the host device that you're connecting your Kindle to or a kernel bug within the USB implementation of your host device (i.e not Kindle related).

What is the output of ifconfig on your host device? It sounds like the network interface presented by the Kindle is not being detected by the host.

Regardless of whether the kindles attached to the raspi.
That's expected behavior - these interfaces always exist on the Kindle when USBNet is enabled regardless of whether the device is attached to a host. The only new interface that you should expect to appear is on the host.
