Following on from your actions listed -
sudo leafpad /etc/udev/rules.d/85-kindle.rules
#again, one long line
ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1949", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0004",
RUN+="/home/boudiccas/bin/obkindle"
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
#plug in kindle, and mount by hand in thunar
sudo grep Kindle /var/log/syslog

sudo grep kindle /var/log/syslog
#returns zero, no output at all, it *has* to be 'Kindle'
It accepts 'SYSFS' or 'ATTR', no difference, and accepts *either* rule.
But still does not run the script.
This is on a up-to-date 'jessie' system, with a basic Kindle (costing
£69 from Amazon, the basic model). Just so that we can perhaps see the
differences between our two systems.
I attach a screenshot showing the kindle open in thunar. You'll see I
have 3 external usb drives, and thinking about it, they *all* have to
be mounted by hand, so the problem is not just with the kindle, its
system-wide. 'thunar-volman' is loaded, but I still have to mount by
hand, whichever file manager I use.
ps aux|grep udevd

boudicc+ 12207 0.0 0.0 4208 804 pts/10 S+ 16:45 0:00 grep

Just to check one commonality, udevd is running.
udev 204-5 from http://mirror.bytemark.co.uk/debian/ jessie/main i386
Packages
I've tried to find any and all commonalities between our two systems,
because they seem to be handling the same information in two different
ways!
Active kernel = 3.11-2-686-pae
Are we any further forward though? I'm not sure, so, any ideas please?
Thanks
Sharon.
