I do not believe the Kindle is stolen, because it comes with the boxes and all the other bits and bobs as well (but not with receipt, I suspect).
I will ask all the other questions and come back with the answers.

When packaged retail items fall off the back of the truck (or fall through the cracks of the storeroom floor), they usual also come in the original box.
I didn't mean you should suggest to the seller that it is stolen goods but I did mean you should ask why they didn't return it for exchange.
BIG NOTE:
If it is 'lost or stolen' then Amazon has blacklisted it, which means it can not be registered.
So maybe another P.C. question to ask is if the seller has or had it registered.

The screen is a meta-stable display -
It will continue displaying whatever was written to it last, even if removed from the device.
So a picture of the device displaying one of Amazon's screensavers only tells you that you are getting a screen (that worked at least once) and the plastic case.
The rest of the guts may be missing.
