so you guys think the kindle identifies itself by serial number on the network? that makes sense I suppose - I was hoping the sim card and the fact it was kindle would be enough.

I haven't opened my kindle wifi yet but from what I could find on the web it looked like the wifi has the same motherboard with the modem jack and the sim card slot. The only tricky bit hardware wise is that the 3g antenna is a sticker and would have to peeled off in one piece.

I'll have to think more about it...
