What does lsusb -v have to say about the devices available, both before and after you connect the waiting Kindle to the PC with a known good USB cable?
What does the "tail" of dmesg have to say immediately (and I mean immediately) after making the USB connection between the waiting Kindle and the PC?

"Known good" :: means has both the power pair and the data pair are included in the cable and both pair known to be working.

What vendor/device ID(s) is the fastboot on your PC built to recognize?

You post that you tried both Ubuntu and Windows - -
Are both of them running on bare metal or are either (or both) of them running in a VM?
What version of Windows?
What version of Ubuntu?
