Totally unknown.
Only Amazon could say.

It isn't a question of 'bother' - it is a question of money.
The cost to open and/or inspect returned Kindles is more than the cost (to Amazon) of the Kindle.

Yes it is, they do not have an opportunity to know its condition.

Again, it is a matter of money.
Manpower, even automated manpower, is expensive.
The return goes into a big bin, which re-furbisher's bid on, by the bin.
So very unlikely to happen.
The "claim" is made to reserve their right to do so.
And the only instance I know of, was in a case of a combined owner/re-furbisher who tried to get away with hundreds of Kindles.
Plus, you can also always avoid the charge-back -
Just disable the credit card you have on file with them after the replacement is shipped.
(Which also makes the sequence of item movements relevant.)
