Stops trying = Bricked  |

On most hardware, as long as you can factory reset before the brick, you'll have a clean device.
Also, I believe, but am not sure, if Amazon doesn't see the device connecting within 30 days, it stops trying. That was at least true for their ebook synching

That was referring to Amazon's "push" service for ebooks. Amazon won't push a queued book to your device if it has been trying and failing to message your Kindle for 30 days.
Makes sense, I suppose. Can't say I ever tried it.
(P.S. @ProDigit -- Amazon tracks per-device serial numbers, it doesn't use a generated account key. You can wipe an account key via resetting and then the device can't be identified... but a serial number is harder, both to wipe
and to replace!!!
Also, the Kindle won't be bricked, just blacklisted.)
