I love Amazon. They ship so fast. I have a kindle and if I have a problem I contact them and they call me right back and can usually help me fix it in that phone call. Bought my Brother serger from them also. They're always so helpful, service is great and their prices are good.

The ones that light up take a lot of power, and you have to recharge often.

I bought the extra warranty for my Kindle Fire. If lost, stolen, dropped, left in the rain, dog ate it, whatever I get a new Kindle Fire. I don't know if that warranty is still offered but it wasn't much at all. DH has the older Kindle keyboard and loves it. He has the lighted book cover that does not take batteries but run from the Kindle. His Kindle stays charged for weeks.

I'm confused. Did they get the Kindle or not?

At any rate, you seem to be happy with your outcome, so congratulations! I wonder if it's possible yet to track a Kindle. I know if my iPad or iPod is ever lost or stolen, I can easily locate it.

It is always nice to hear about honest people.
I have my address label on the back of my Nook, just in case!

Wow you are so lucky, amazon was not so concerned about the kindle we found in the parking lot of the cancer center. I called them after we found the kindle and got it charged up so I could find the owners name, on two occasions they told me they could not help, I should take it to the local police station. I was shocked, I asked them to send the owner an email to contact me and they would not even do that. Ended up putting up information at tyhe cancer center (they were more helpful than amazon) could have been a patient or friend of a patient. Ended up taking it to the local police. So if the owner asked about it at the cancer center, they could go to the station and claim the kindle. Hope they did!
