I bought a Kindle HDX 7 third gen from ebay. I was trying to see if it was third gen so I posted the number on the box in another kindle forum not knowing it was the serial number. Several people suggested I remove the number from the post as a hacker could get it blacklisted? Not sure what all that means. I did remove the post a few minutes after I posted it.

Can I change the S/N? I have several other kindles..
