In first troubleshooting this issue, I found that there are a number of MTP tools that were not installed. I added mtp-tools, go-mtfs, libmtp-common, libmtp9t64, libmtp-runtime, and jmtpfs. This did not help the issue. I am not knowledgeable about how MTP support works in Linux, so I may have missed something wrt MTP support in Linux.
The problem is that you do not want Linux to mount the device as then calibre is unable to access it. From what I (rather vaguely) remember for Ubuntu, you will need to stop the gvfs-mtp-volume-monitor process from System Monitor before connecting your Fire HD. Do not kill the process since it will automatically restart, just stop it.

Good luck!
