I found a kindle and contacted amazon and this was their response to me....
I'm happy you contacted us about the Kindle device that you found. I'm sorry, but for security reasons, we're unable to provide the owner's information to you. When the original owners of lost Kindle devices contact us, we mark the devices as lost in our system, so the devices will be unusable by the finder.
Please turn the Kindle in to an appropriate lost and found, or turn it in to the local authorities. If you'd prefer, you can also send the device to be recycled by our certified recycler, Eco International.
You can create and print your own prepaid UPS shipping label through Eco International's website. Visit ecotakeback.com/kindle for further instructions.
Thank you for taking the time to contact Amazon.com. If you need more help or have some questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us again.
You can also give us a call anytime at:
U.S. and Canada: 1-866-321-8851

You can also visit our website and select Contact Us from any Help page, click on the "Phone" button, enter your number, and we'll call you right back.

I hope this helps.
