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.

From what I can tell, the Paperwhite does not use MTP. It uses USB Mass Storage. Simply plugging the device in should work. I see no options for what protocol to use, either, on my Paperwhite.
