They don't want to encourage people to buy or sell stolen Kindles. I know you didn't realize it was stolen but new Kindles are not that expensive and it is much safer to buy from the source or an authorized seller. If the price was significantly lower than purchasing new, it should have been a red flag.
At this point I don't believe there is anything you can do besides using the Kindle as generic reader. The only workaround I think of is for you to download Kindle for PC (or one of the other Kindle apps), strip the DRM from the books you purchase then load them onto the Kindle.
Sorry you were ripped off.
