With regard to the registration problem noted by the OP, I found this writeup on ebay:

Quote:
NOTE: This device will not be able to browse or purchase Kindle books directly from the Amazon Kindle store. All Kindle books must be browsed and purchased by using another device, such as a newer Kindle (generation 6 and up), a tablet, a computer, or a smartphone. Kindle Books can be delivered directly to this device once purchased on another device or downloaded from the Amazon cloud once purchased. Books also can be downloaded (or copied from another Kindle) to a computer and then transferred to this device via a USB cable.

This change does not affect registration. This is an Amazon legacy device, and I will include instructions for registering. Be advised this Kindle device will fail registration on the first attempt. This is NORMAL. DO NOT BE ALARMED.
Thus, someone has figured out a workaround for unsuccessful registration. Based on a public thread on Amazon's forums, it may have to do with a firmware update.
