2) I doubt paypal will contact Amazon
3) I'm trying my best to make the right thing and let Amazon do the honours of contacting me with some proof that the Kindle was stolen so I can push it forward it...
Have you saved your emails to/from Amazon? Something that shows you saying, "Why can't I register?" and Amazon saying, "Sorry, invalid serial number. Looks like you're SOL." What about a screenshot showing what happens when you try to register your Kindle?

I apologize for just skimming this thread, but have you spoken to the police? Amazon isn't going to say diddly to you about whether the device was reported as stolen but more than likely would if asked by the police. It stinks that someone sold you stolen merchandise, but by having this Kindle in your possession now, you are committing a crime.

You have NOTHING to lose if you get the ball rolling with PayPal/Ebay, but there is only a limited amount of time to do so. Stolen or not, you have a Kindle that can't be registered with Amazon and that's a very legitimate cause for requesting a refund.
