It's not a good idea to reuse the same Serial Number for two Kindles. You can find out the serial number of your bricked Kindle from the Amazon web page.

The MAC should be slightly less important, so it may (or may not!) be ok to simply choose a more or less random one. I've read somewhere that the "device" on Amazon is tied to the MAC as well, but then again, Amazon shouldn't be able to directly determine the configured MAC address via network (that's a different story of course if the *payload* that is sent to Amazon contains the MAC somewhere).
