Anyone Own A Kindle?

I have a kindle myself.
I read a lot of pre 1900 literature and there's BUNDLES of it on various archive sites in the mobi/kindle format.

Free books!?
I couldn't be much happier.

Just found one recently.
Totally blank.
No way of knowing who it belongs to.
Turns on.
Anyone know any way of finding out who to get it to?
Would Amazon do that or would they junk it to sell more?
I have no use for it since I have an iPad and regardless prefer to get it back to it's rightful owner.

Should be linked to their amazon account. might be somewhere under menu registration etc also contacting amazon should be worth a try.

yep, the settings menu is where you want to go to find the serial number which Amazon can use to contact the owner.
