I had a difficult time connecting to my kindle fire HD and really could
not find much information on how to do it so when I did figure it out
(or, rather when the magic did happen), I thought I would put something
out and save others some time.
1. Update to Fedora 19 ... you need libmtp and gvfs-mtp (and, of
course, the whole set of gvfs packages that goes with running gvfs).
There is no gvfs-mtp for Fedora 18 which was part of my original problem.
2. I have nautilus managing my desktop and "Show mounted volumes"
explicitly turned on.
3. After connecting my kindle, I had to logoff and logon again [so that
"puff" the magic could happen] for the kindle to be recognized and
mounted.
That is nice. Now if only the kindle fire HD 8.9 handled (displayed)
PDFs as well as my kindle-dx with the failing battery.
