Lost or stolen Kindle? Amazon says you're out of luck - Ars Technica: "This made us wonder: is there any way to use technology to recover a lost Kindle? After all, the Kindle has built-in wireless connectivity through Sprint, and Amazon has the apparent ability to reach into people's devices to yank back content. There must be some way to figure out where the device is, or at least shut it down remotely to deter thieves. Right? Right?
Our reader, Justin Smith, said that Amazon's Kindle Support told him that there's no way to send a kill signal down to the Kindle and have it shut off remotely. This is 'something which I feel would be beneficial in a situation like this, where recovery of the device is unlikely,' he told us via e-mail."
