The previous thing, Kindle Keyboard (sounds like a KARDASHIAN company), also had to be replaced. Besides the malfunctions, in general this product, to me who am low tech, is a clunky machine. The new one is so thin that the power button is tiny and flush under the edge, hard to find, hard to push, and random body movements unwantedly turn the pages or shift the screen (yes, it can be locked). Oh. Nobody asked, now did they.

You can deregister it yourself, but then someone else can simply re-register it. But if you call Amazon, they'll make it inoperable. At least that's the way it worked for a Kindle e-reader that got stolen from my sis.

When will thieves learn? You can't steal Kindles and expect to actually use them.
