root@localhost:/home/ron # fsck /dev/sdc1
Reclaimed 88 unused clusters (720896 bytes).
Free cluster summary wrong (352493 vs. really 352666)
1) Correct
2) Don't correct
? 1
Leaving file system unchanged.
/dev/sdc1: 481 files, 47608/400274 clusters
Why did fsck leave the file system unchanged if you said 1 (Correct)? Did it somehow misunderstood what you wanted? You could maybe try with the option -p to automatically fix any problem it finds, and avoid the question. Unluckily I have no other idea.

Do you have any old log file to verify whether this "usb_set_interface failed" message also happening when your kindle was correctly mounted in read-write mode?
