Check Serial Kindle

[Landerico Benson]

Ihave books on my Kindle with content that would probably make them ask more questions. It is nothing illegal or even questionable in most countries, but it would lead them to ask questions I don't want asked. I have similar content on my smartphone.

No, they won't. Unless they have specific reasons (such as a tip-off) that you are trying to smuggle illegal materials (porn, propaganda etc for distribution in China), they will not care about this. They primarily focus is on security-relevant issues and items for which you need to pay duty.

What they did however is spending some time at looking at photos on pretty much every digital camera. I had crossed several other borders before and had placed a dummy memory card with just a few photos in my camera. With other cameras they spend several minutes at looking at photos. Not that they were really looking for something, they were just curious.

I've only been through customs at Shanghai and they've never looked at any of my electronics. I've always been carrying a laptop, in recent years I've always been carrying a DSLR (although the memory cards have always been basically empty--I copy the pictures off soon after I take them. This has nothing to do with customs) and a Kindle.

I'm not saying that it's impossible for them to do that, it's just highly unlikely especially if you arrive at big airports like Beijing or Shanghai. And there's no customs check before domestic flights, you still need to pass security screening though, but the content of your books isn't their concern.

Each time I enter Shanghai Pudong the border agent checks my visa, doesn't say anything, and lets me through. Then there doesn't seem to be a customs check at all typically (there's sort of an area that looks like you'd set up a queue there, but it's just unattended and I walk out the "nothing to declare" doorway).

I've also entered through Shanghai HongQiao and there was your typical X-Ray machine that you see at subways and at the train station - nothing anywhere near as thorough as the TSA. People barely stop walking to use these machines.

Psst. Double check your Kindle credentials. Your device info is found within the settings (Settings > Device Options > Device Info).

*The Kindle & the Kindle Paperwhite are not the same device. In hopes to minimize incorrect size purchases, the Kindle will now be to referred to as the (Baby Ass) Kindle. You're welcome.

My solution over the years has been to just buy books. First, I bought them at garage sales or used book sales. 25 to 50 cents apiece was much cheaper than realizing it had been six months since I checked out my limit.

I was thrilled to be reading for free. The wait times on the books I had on hold varied. One was supposed to be available in a month, one in two, another in three, and two were going to take at least six months.

But being obsessively frugal, I quit reading the previously purchased book I was in the middle of, read like crazy for two weeks and finished all but one before they were automatically disappeared from my Kindle.

My last two weeks were bananas, and of course . . . two books with VERY long waiting lists were automatically checked out to me and automatically returned without me ever downloading them. Now I have to get on their waiting lists again.

Also, MANY libraries have my books (How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind and Decluttering at the Speed of Life) available as paperbacks, ebooks and audiobooks. Check them out or ask your library to get them!

I use the Overdrive app, which is the sister app to Libby. ( If I check something out on Overdrive it is visible on the Libby app). I am able to suspend a hold. If I go to my hold page, underneath the listing it says suspend hold.

At my library you can pause your digital holds. So, if you see that you are now 3rd in line and you still have two books to read you can pause your hold for whatever amount of time you choose and it does exactly that, moves one person in front of you at a time.

Libby allows you to suspend holds! This allows you to move to the front of the line, but it will only release it if the line disappears or when you Or the timeline release the suspend. This keeps all of them from releasing at the same time.

A Slob Comes Clean is the completely honest (and never-ending) story of my deslobification process. As I find ways to keep my home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organization methods that actually work for a real-life slob. And I'm funny.

One way to avoid purchasing a blacklisted Kindle is to understand why Kindles get blacklisted in the first place. The most common reason for blacklisting is when the device is reported as lost or stolen. When a Kindle is reported as lost or stolen, Amazon will place a hold on the device, making it impossible to download new books or access any of the features that require an Amazon account.

Lastly, check for any signs of tampering or modifications. If the device has been opened, it may indicate that there have been attempts to repair the device in the past. Moreover, a rooted or jailbroken Kindle can create various technical issues.

Another important question to ask is whether the device is still under warranty. If it is, ask for proof of purchase and check with Amazon to ensure the warranty is valid. If the seller cannot provide proof of purchase or the warranty has expired, it may be a red flag.

Finally, ask the seller if they offer a return policy or any sort of guarantee. A reputable seller should offer some sort of protection for buyers, especially when purchasing a device as expensive as a Kindle.

Kindles running firmware 5.14 or higher can go into Settings, Device Options, and Device Info. Your device's name should be the first thing listed. If you have a device running older firmware, you can check your Amazon account, use the serial number of the device, or look out for the physical identifiers listed below.
