Quick update:
Today, UPS called me saying they were told to send it back (either by the US branch, Amazon or the customs office). So I got to the Amazon customer support chat, thinking that I might get another replacement order for the Kindle. To my surprise, I was told the Kindle support team should handle my requests now. So I sent them an e-mail via their contact form, asking what my options were and that I'd rather not call, not having a working headset (or a mic) for Skype and all. They responded: "Once we receive your shipment, we would issue a full refund for it." That's good to know. I read on and what do you know... they suggest I call them.
So I'm wondering whether I should start looking for a half-decent headset or try to return the rest of the order (the EU power adapter) and order a fairly cheap Android 2.1 tablet from eBay. I'd probably get a mediocre device, but at least I'd most likely receive it without that much fuss...
