Kindle readers work fine, but the Fires series are tablets and may not connect as a USB drive. Some recent Android phones can only connect as MTP devices, and are still not well supported under Linux. See recent discussion on this list or Google for "linux mtp".

You can use "calibre" to move books and documents on and off the tablet, and to keep all your books/docs in a library on the Linux machine. That's what I do with mine.

One of these days, RSN, I'm going to have to find out how well my Nook connects to Linux.

How could he use Calibre, or any other graphical interface for that matter, if the system below does NOT see the Kindle in the first place?
Marco
Calibre works fine for book transfer: not sure how to transfer music, movie, images. If you have an available network, if you install Wifi finder on the Kindle, you will have full access by http://192.168.1.103:8000/ in Firefox or alike

Because the system DOES see the Kindle, note the lsusb output from the OP. It just doesn't see it as a mass storage device, so you can't use tools like "cp" to move files back and forth.
I confess I hadn't thought about moving pictures and movies, because I just don't use my Kindle for those.

I am using Pcsync on the Kindle, then I connect from any Ftp transfer program to it, and I can manage also photo, and music.
For Fedora users, Calibre on Ubuntu doesn't seem to get the Kindle :-)

For a moment there I thought this could be the solution for connecting my Galaxy Nexus phone (given that it can also work as an ereader), but it was not to be:
OpenFailed: Failed to open MTPDevice(busnum=1, devnum=12, vendor_id=1256, product_id=26716, bcd=534, serial=u'01498A4C09018014', manufacturer=u'samsung', product=u'Galaxy Nexus'): Error: Unable to open raw device.
Too bad.

"see it as a mass storage device" is the only thing actually had in mind when I posted. Sorry for not explaining it better. So what we are saying here is that Calibre CAN read and write to a device that is only detected, but not recognized as mass storage? Interesting, I had never realized that.

Sounds like a ConsoleKit/systemd-logind permissions issue.
How are you logging in and what desktop env are you using?

I'm logging in under my normal user account. My desktop is KDE.
Using the same hardware, same user, same DE, I can mount the phone using mtpfs, which works more often than not (but sometimes doesn't and then does after retrying). So it wouldn't seem to be a permissions issue.
