A USB device can only be seen by the host OS -or- the VM (not both)...

And be sure to run fastboot as root (sudo) in linux, or it will not be fully functional.
I did what you said and Windows detected new hardware "Virtual .. USB .." or something like this. and wanted to install driver, which I dont have. After that VM shows me this:

Code:
Failed to attach the USB device Amazon Kindle [0001] to the virtual machine 42.

USB device 'Amazon Kindle' with UUID {60e9cd37-eac6-4909-a704-292fbaadbee1} is busy with a previous request. Please try again later.

Result Code: E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)
Component: HostUSBDevice
