The procedure is on Amazon's site under Report Your Amazon Device as Lost or Stolen.

Basically, go to Contents and Devices, select the stolen device, click on the device name and record it's serial number and deregister it. Contact Amazon Customer Service, report the device as stolen with the serial number.

While this does not stop someone from using the device without registering it, it does keep them from registering it or using it to purchase books on your nickel.

And yes, one friend of mine was looking for a Kindle to use for it's serial number. He went through 4 devices before he found one that could be registered. The other three had to be returned and that turned into a total PITA for him.
