Unhappy Lost my Kindle 3 :(

I was on the United's flight from DC to LAX yesterday. I almost finished reading the Star Trek: Typhon Pact: Zero Sum Game, when we were told to "turn off all devices with an on-off switch." When we landed at 12:00 am I put the Kindle in the large pocket inside my coat (DC was rather cold). I did not think about it until yesterday's evening. I searched everything, the car, the bag, the coat... The Kindle is gone. I've been calling various lost-and-founds, so far without success.

I am in mourning. My PRS-500 was lost/stolen a couple of years ago. My desktop died a couple of months ago. My two-year-old daughter broke the screen on my six-months-old laptop a week ago. And now this ...

so sad, hope whoever finds it checks the owner info on the unit or gives Amazon a call. There are more honest people than dishonest ones. Good luck

Osnova, I feel your pain.

Did you have contact info on your Kindle so that perhaps the finder can return it?

Bummer. That's the problem with the kindle being so small and light. You sometimes forget about it.

oh so sorry!!!! I hope you find it soon! I thought I had lost my Kindle this summer and was in such a bad situation that I ordered a replacement within hours of thinking it was lost. it turned up, so I ended up giving the "lost" one to my son

I was devastated as my Kindle broke down, so I can imagine your distress on losing it. Good luck.

Deregister your kindle ASAP because of the risk of buying books with your account.

That's a bummer.

Would be nice if the Kindle Screensavers had a spot for a name and phone number on them. I know you can enter info in the Kindle but is someone unfamiliar with it really going to take the time and search around for that info?

Hope it turns up!

I'm sorry to hear that, Osnova, I hope it turns up! Did you contact Amazon about your loss? Is it possible for someone to rack up your credit card using your Kindle?
