Because of the way Fedora handles the USB file system, you have to change the ownership of the device to access it in a VirtualBox. It gets interesting when the device you want to be able to use in the VirtualBox does not have a Linux driver, so you can not just change the permission of the /dev entry. I have a Gemstar ebook reader that I connect to from a VirtualBox. I have a udev rule and a small script I use for this. I give group r/w access to the device, and set the group to vbox. You may want to see what /var/log/messages says when you plug in the Kindle, and go from there. If it is being seen as a USB storage device, you can always give access to the drive. You may also be able to write a HAL rule so that it does not get mounted, but it gets the proper permissions so you can access it from the VirtualBox. (I know it can be done, but I can not do it yet.) Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
