You are right Katie, I have already tried to remove all the registered Wifi networks and it also didn't worked.

However, yesterday I tried one thing that I was able to (partially) succeed!

1. did a factory reset
2. applied the jailbreak firmware
3. restarted the device, no connection to register the device, neither browse the store
4. uninstalled the jailbreak, then I was able to register the device
5. restarted, and access to the kindle store without problems, but 3G still not working
perhaps, I am afraid that it might be a problem with the 3g receptor or so, I contact Amazon again to consider replacing the device (for a Kindle Paperwhite 3G), the deal was nice as the new one would cost only US$129, but as I do not live in the US, they charged me all the customs taxes, the final is around US$750 (shipping/duties and taxes) + US$129 (device itself) ...in this case, I will stick with my device as it is...
