I have a newly bought Amazon Paperwhite, but when I connect it to my PC, Ubuntu does not recognize it.

What can I do?

    I suggest trying different cables, it finally solved my problem in the end after having lost some time (Paperwhite connecting to Ubuntu Xenial).

    Store-bought cables laying around appeared to only be capable of charging the device. A Huawei P9 lite original cable was the one that finally made the connection.

    I've stumbled upon the same problem. After installing mtpfs all worked fine.

    sudo apt-get install mtpfs
    

    Don't forget to remove and insert the usb cable again.

    FYI: Mine is a Kindle Touch.

    You should just be able to install calibre sudo apt-get install calibre, and manage your Kindle Paperwhite. I don't have a new-ish kindle to test with, but that method has worked with the older kindles, and I don't think they changed it much.

    Make sure to turn off the Airplane Mode on your kindle. For me, this solved it, but it took me a while to realize that it was on.

    There can many reasons why one could have a problem with the USB connection, and this is one of them. Apparently, the airplane mode also disables USB, and not only network connection.
