When I plug in an Amazon Kindle it shows up as an MP3 player, not as an ebook reader. As a result Nautilus shows me an mp3 player icon on the desktop, and has a bar in the UI that says "These files are on a digital audio player" and a button to open Rhythmbox.

While the Kindle is an MP3 player, it's primary use is as an ebook reader, so I would think that by default it would show an icon based on the hardware like we do for ipods (with whatever color the Kindle is, etc.) and then clicking on the icon would open it like a normal USB key and instead Nautilus would say "These files are on a ebook reader" and the button recommends whatever ebook app the user has installed (Calibre or whatever)

Here's the info:
