Hello there,Bought a used Kindle 3 two days ago from the internet. It was shipped this morning and 2 hours ago I got home.
Went to amazon and tried to register it.
Unfortunately it said there was an error. I contacted the support and I was said that It was a "lost or stolen" unit.
I asked If there is a way to contact the real owner and help him recover his/her kindle. Unfortunately, for security issues, they were unable to contact the owner.
Sent a message to the seller but I think I am scammed.
So I got this Kindle. As there is no way to contact the owner of the unit and the seller probably wont fix the problem, Is there a way to use it with Amazon?
