THIS TOPIC IS CLOSED. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY.

I have a Kindle 3 (Wifi+3G) with a broken display here. Managed to step on it (don't ask...).

As far as I can tell, the device is (internally) still working, though it obviously can't be used for reading anymore. The device has jailbreak etc. installed.

If anybody is interested in the device, I'm ok with giving it away (at my sole discretion). If you want it, here are the rules:

EU or CH only. Anything else would just be too expensive for shipping.
Let me know why you think I should give it to you (i.e., what do you intend to do with it?). The more interesting or convincing, the better...
Help me with de-registering the device from Amazon and removing all personal information from it. (I have already de-registered the device at the Amazon website, but I don't know if there is anything else to be done on the device itself). Bonus points for telling me how I can get usbnetwork working on it, without actually being able to see what I'm doing (update: this one is solved).
First come, first serve, or so. I have exactly one device, and it is up to me to decide who gets it. Being quick helps, but being convincing and helpful is equally important (see above). Folks who have provided useful input here in the forums (think "Karma") would get extra consideration. I'm not just gonna send it to the first person who shouts "I want it". Shipping will cost me real money, so I want to be sure it's worth it.
Promise not to complain if you don't get it.

UPDATE: Please post only in this thread. No PMs on that topic.
UPDATE2: Before this gets out of hand, I slightly changed the rules. Everything posted here until Friday, Jan 13 will be considered. I'll make the final decision on Saturday, Jan 14.
