to me its a no brainer - NO - buying blacklisted devices just encourages theft, and the OP is a recent victim of that. if he decides YES and finds he has just bought back the one he has had stolen, well there's some poetic justice in there somewhere

PS yes the internet is full of " free files to read "- but there's a difference between free and legal - be careful what you brag about here
I'd be careful about buying a Kindle from anywhere but Amazon itself. Others have bought Kindles at pawnshops, via craigslist and Ebay and usually it turns out the Kindle is blacklisted. Not only can you not register the blacklisted kindle but you can't easily access your books or make collections since you need to register in order to do that.
