Probably you‘re missing the whole one part of Debian mtp stack.

The above libmtp are installed by default on antiX.

Furthermore you could install mtp-tools and jmtpfs. I’m not sure if this is the problem, though.
If I were in your shoes I also would try different usb-ports -cords , booting with the kindle, without and so on.
Calibre has kind of backed in mount- and mtp- mechanism, it also doesn’t like if the device is already mounted by another program and if there are two usb-devices like another phone.

It maybe also worth a try to go into the settings of calibre and try the connect/share button, and choose connecting with a folder.
Even if this is not necessary for other OS like you wrote, on antiX it may is
It also seems in time to be neccesary to open calibre with dbus-launch calibre.

I still hope there will be someone else with a kindle.

OK. You installed a lot, nobody said but anyway not jmtpfs

sudo apt-get install jmtpfs

Please with your kindle connected post the output of

sudo mtp-detect

and

lsusb

Also did you try to go into the settings of calibre and try the connect/share button, and choose connecting with a folder ?Like I said above calibre does not like , if another program already mounted your kindle, so do this directly after booting, without trying anything else for connecting to your kindle.

Before posting the output from the terminal, you could do us a favor, and click on the code button, before and after the output. This will make it much easier to read.

I’ve no idea what spooks here but, there may be many different (and even trivial) reasons when it doesn’t work.

Examples:

1. jmtpfs –> fs == File System

2. “Go to preferences->plugins and re-enable the Kindle device plugins.”

3. “Use the official calibre binary and not the debian package. Make sure you have a working install of udev and dbus on your system.”

4. “… couldn’t recognise my Kindle Fire HD device, but as soon as I replaced the USB cable with another generic one (might have been my original white Kindle Paperwhite one) it worked fine…”

At least it got recognized from the system.

Did you try all from #14650?

This is a usable How To , worth a try.
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2226702

It’s for phones but among the users who have had success are also kindle owners

If you read through the posts you’ll see that some only had to do the first two or four steps, so please do it step by step and try to see if it’s enough already.

In step 4 you will be instructed to edit the /lib/udev/rules.d/69-mtp.rules,
On antiX you need to edit the /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules instead.

In step 5, you will probably have to create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules.
But maybe the first steps are enough anyway.

If you stumble at any point, feel free to ask.

Even if you succeed with the How To, you’re probably gonna have to make the changes again, when libmtp get’s updated.
It’s likely possible to work around that, by copying files to another place, though.First of all fingers crossed.
