Just to mention that this (empty, inocuous) LOST.DIR directory is automaticaly created by android fsck-ing the usb device when it mounts it. Don't be surprized to find in on your Kindle.

If it ever contains files, it means android found errors in the Kindle file system and while correcting it, copied the sectors in error into LOST.DIR -- should you want to (courageously) attempt recovery.

To stay on the safe side, remember to "eject" the Kindle from the android phone prior to physically disconnecting it.
