Nah. The device has both a serial number and MAC-address (for the WIFI card). The MAC-address is unique; the serial number probably is as well. Both can't be changed by the user (unless they hack the firmware and spoof the numbers, somehow), so Amazon will have at least two options of blocking a Kindle trying to register.

It's a good idea, but I'd never do that myself. I have a book style cover, and if I'd put the contact details on it, people setting across from me in public transport would be able to read them.
If the cover had a pocket or something I probably would but a business card in there.
