I just saw a Kindle up for sale on ebay with no usb cable or power adapter.Makes me wonder if it is one they found. Item location is in NY. Item number is under seller hilaryb Item: ** Bargain ** Amazon Kindle 2 (Newest Model) (130318753332 If you have lost one I suggest contacting her through ebay and asking serial number of item she is selling.



Yes, it is true. Since each Kindle has a unique ID, Amazon could merely turn off the Kindle, making it useless to any theif. This would prompt theives to return them for a reward maybe. But, Amazon appears to encourage theives by refusing to do that. So, be prepared to have Amazon refuse to turn off a stolen Kindle even when they know a theif has it. They are apparently willing to accept the theifs money just for the greed. Would never had purchased one knowing this fact.
