I am really pissed at the thief and I know there's no way for me to recover the device. The only goal I want now is for the device to be unusable.
Nothing that requires an Amazon account will work -- so collections will stop working and so will buying books -- but sideloading will still work, though the thing is sufficiently nonfunctional with registration impossible that I can't see anyone wanting to use it: certainly it would be almost unfenceable.

Amazon have also not yet added a facility to short the battery through the thief or turn off the charging circuit so the thing explodes on the thief. :P
