That part of the storage contains, among other things, the machine specific data.
Share that between two (or more) Kindles will get them both (all) blacklisted.

But on a K4 or newer model, any dump made with "dd" will show zeroes on the idme vars (serial number and such), so even that should be safe. You can only read those vars via kernel /proc files, which is what "idme" uses for reading. Interestingly, you can WRITE to that storage location yourself, so it is easy enough to write the values that you cannot read.
It is the K3 and earlier that expose the idme vars for reading by use apps.
It would be good to replace the root password hash in /etc/shadow with the known mario DES hash (copied from a known mario shadow file). Otherwise the root password will not be computable for any serial number but yours...
