Buying a used Kindle is a gamble because I may not be able to register it with Amazon.

IF the reason you're remaining with Kindle is because you have books that you paid for but cannot convert THEN Amazon is essentially holding your books for ransom: You paid the author. You paid the publisher. You paid the distributor -- Amazon -- BUT that distributor refuses to give you access to the content. That might not be illegal but it is unjust and amoral.
AND there IS a solution: EVERY book you own but cannot convert HAS ALREADY been converted by someone else and placed, for your convenience, on the internet. There are multiple of these sites which you can find with a google search (one of them even has a Reddit forum.) Literally (almost) every book which has ever been published in history is available there SO they will have yours.
The problem with those sites is that when you dl a book from there which you have not paid for elsewhere, no one is getting paid. That's not good but that's not you: ALL you are doing is exchanging one format for another.
A lesser-human might add the comment "F that MAGA-weasel Bezos" but I'll restrain myself.
