The only other device I have plugged into my computer besides the Kindle is a USB hard drive. You can see both in this screen shot:

Other devices being plugged in have nothing to do with it.

Only one program can access an MTP device at a time on Linux. Prevent your desktop/file manager from automounting the device and it will be detected in calibre.
The problem is that your system is automounting the kindle, thereby ensuring that calibre can't read it.
