I tried installing Doukan on it with no success.

For a billion dollar company to turn its back on someone who bought their device, albeit it from a non-authorized seller, shows just how unconcerned they are with their customers and their corporate image.
You bought a device that would not turn on, that had no charger, for at least $200 under the current sale price (Assuming that the statement over $100 means less then $200 and probably under $289), and you are surprised that it was not a legitimate Kindle (ie it was stolen or a demo model)? Really?

That series of events tells me that it was a scam and that you should not have paid for it. You got burned by a scam artist and you are upset with Amazon for not replacing your very inexpensive, compared to a fully functional DXG, with a replacement DXG?

Be pissed with the scam artist and smack yourself for not recognizing the scam but blaming Amazon for not rewarding his unethical behavior and your falling for a scam is a bit silly.

I am sorry you are out the money. I am sorry that you got burned. I don't think Amazon has done anything wrong here.
