Now that I know what to look for, I found the following locations in Windows to obtain the kindle serial number(s):

"Device Manager / Kindle Internal Storage USB Device / Details / Device Instance Id" contains the serial number.

Also, all of the kindles that have been plugged in will have the same information stored in a registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\De viceClasses\{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}".

Here is an example kindle registry key for a DXG (S/N B009-):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\DeviceClasses\{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}\##?#USBSTOR#Disk&Ven_Kindle&Prod_Int ernal_Storage&Rev_0100#B009A1A011XXXXXX&0#{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}

This DOS command will show all the kindles that have been plugged in:
reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasse s\{53f56307-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b}|find "B00"
In the command output, the kindle serial number will be between "&Rev_0100#" and "&0#{", as can be seen in the above example key.

P.S. The web page editor seems to insert a space inside long strings (which does not belong there), so ignore them above.
