The serious eBay resellers indicate if a Kindle can be registered or is "Blocked" (blacklisted).

I've bought quite a few used Kindles from pawn shops, eBay, Shop Goodwill and Craigslist. I've had ONE that was blacklisted in all this time. (My Dad, who won't use WiFi, is using that one (a Kindle Keyboard) after I tried to send it Amazon so they could give it back to the original owner. They just told me to take it back to the pawn shop to get my money back?) But, even if you don't want to use any of the above shops, Woot is owned by Amazon and they sell their used ("refurbished") Kindles with a 90 day warranty. This one would work for the OP.
