I was talking to the lost and found guy at the Chicago train system, and he said his wife had a kindle, and so he knew how to turn it on and get the name, and would contain someone if a lost kindle was turned in. If it was out of battery, he said he called Amazon, gave them the SN, and they would contact you to tell you to retrieve your kindle.

I thought that was really nice and shows these really are becoming readily acceptable, and unfortunately, people are losing them! But if you do it in Chicago on the train, you will get it back. (Unfortunately, I did not yet, but I am still hopeful).
