Bypass registration Kindle Color Edition

Hello, could you help me bypass the registration process on a Kindle device? It's blacklisted, so I can't proceed past the registration screen.

Thank you!

Only Amazon can blacklist a Kindle. They do so when a Kindle is reported lost or stolen.

No-one here would help with removing blacklisting, even if it were possible.

I suggest you return it to whoever you got it from.

Yes, I bought it on eBay. I want to skip the registration screen so I can sideload books via USB.

I do not know if it's even possible to do that with a blacklisted Kindle.

Same problem

I bought a new, sealed kindle from the internet. When I wanted to configure it I couldn't do it. I chatted with the support service and found out that the device was deactivated as replacement was already processed for the device. Bad luck

The best you can do is try to get a refund.

You need to contact PayPal to get your money back. What you bought is an illegal Kindle. It never should have been sold.

I agree with the sentiment here, but how could they (ebay) know? Scammy sellers are surely not going to mention that the device does not properly work, are they?

Ebay has Buyer protection policies, the device can be returned, if it is not in working condition.

There are ebay sellers that clearly label blacklisted Kindles as such and explain there is limited functionality.

A blacklisted Kindle isn't always a stolen one.

But a blacklisted Kindle should never be sold. And one should not come here asking to bypass the registration of a blacklisted Kindle.

I think people can have a little unblacklisted kindle, as a treat.

It's not allowed to bypass a blacklisted Kindle on MR.

Amazon and some local retailers (some places) sell those.

Forget about fixing a blacklisted Kindle.
