I would have hoped when i got my kindle stolen to have a way to declare it stolen at amazon and block it maybe ? after all it's paid with my account and my credit card, it's quite easy to find out.



And when you sell the device but then later attempt to extort the new owner by reporting it stolen?


How is that "extortion"?


"That's a nice e-reader you have there ... it'd be a shame if someone reported it stolen and it stopped working. Maybe you should send me another fifty bucks."


Ah, well, ownership should be reliably transferable. This crap happens with cellphones (I had it happen to me with an eBayed Galaxy S3 last week...)


The problem is that you can legally sell a kindle.
