This something that has concerned me. If the kindle is stolen and you don't have access to the Internet at the time to inform Amazon etc.the thief could spend a lot of money using your credit card. I expect it would be a right hassle to get the money back. Amazon could only "brick" the kindle if it was connected via wifi or 3g - but if the thief disabled connectivity this can't happen.
The security of purchasing books via the kindle seems a badly flawed system to me. Surely having to enter a usernane and password at the time of purchase is the minimum that should be required.
Personally, due to these concerns, I have disassociated my kindle with my amazon account.
