Beware that a
USB downloader mode Kindle and a
Fastboot mode Kindle are actually two different USB devices.
After booting to fastboot mode the first device (VendorID
Freescale Semiconductor [15a2] in my case) "disappears" from USB bus and a new device appears as connected (VendorID
Amazon [1949] in my case).
If, for some reason, the
USB downloader mode Kindle is still present in the USB device list after entering fastboot mode, then checking it cannot work and could produce an error.
You need to check a different device in that phase.

You won't experience such problems in Linux. It just works supposed you have enough privileges to access usbfs.
