This is the best of reasons to
**not** change your device's serial number.
Of all possible serial numbers:
- Amazon knows which ones they have used, others will not work.
- Of the serial numbers used, some have been reported and blacklisted, those will not work.
- Of the remaining serial numbers, they each represent (someone else's) working Kindle.
Try to use one of those and **both** devices will become blacklisted.
Amazon is very actively "watching" each and every Kindle (they are each part of their Marketing, Data Mining, operations).
Note that point 3 above could be used as a DoS (Denial of Service) attack on all working Kindles.
Something which is illegal.
Don't expect help with that from anyone here.
