root at localhost:/home/ron # fsck /dev/sdc1
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.18
dosfsck 3.0.11, 24 Dec 2010, FAT32, LFN
/driveinfo.calibre
  Contains a free cluster (258931). Assuming EOF.
/driveinfo.calibre
  File size is 294 bytes, cluster chain length is 0 bytes.
  Truncating file to 0 bytes.
/metadata.calibre
  Contains a free cluster (257977). Assuming EOF.
/metadata.calibre
  File size is 225863 bytes, cluster chain length is 0 bytes.
  Truncating file to 0 bytes.
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

After correction, problem remains.

After clearing dmesg with dmesg -c, I connect the Kindle and get:
