Your comment about Airplane Mode is really interesting because it would have been in Airplane Mode when it was left on the plane, so that might explain why there were recommendations still there. Have you by any chance, when you've opened up a Kindle, noticed a printed copy of the serial number inside the case that matches the serial number registered with Amazon? I had my serial number noted down from my Amazon account and the police examined the Kindle and followed instructions as to how to go through Settings and then into Device information where the serial number is stored, so they had both numbers to compare. On the other hand, if the device was left in Airplane mode, it can't be made aware it's been kicked out of the garden, so, yeah, it would keep showing the same pool of recommendations. I've never handled blacklisted devices (but I do, unfortunately, have experience with the procedure from your side of things ), and I don't recall actually ever deregistering a device manually, so, take that with a grain of salt. ĪFAIK, the recommendation stuff is handled server-side, so, if it was deregistered (i.e., blacklisted, which is what Amazon does if you inform them that your device has been stolen), and that actually took, doubly nope, as I'd imagine that'd both cut the cord, and wipe the userstore/settings on the device. I don't recall if there's any form of write protection in place, but, if there isn't, yes, it's potentially trivial if you have root/shell access to the device.īut, more low-tech, how can you be sure the S/N that was reported is actually accurate? After all, it's far easier to lie than to actually modify the device.
