This made me think… how many Kindle owners are out there right now using their device and not putting any information on it to be able to track the owner in case it is lost. If you are one of those, then you really need to fix that.

Here are a few ideas:

First of all, use the Kindle’s feature of adding your personal info. The link to “edit personal info” can be accessed from the “Settings and Device Information” tab when you click the menu button from the Kindle’s home screen.

Another way is to  rename your  Kindle reader.  Every time it comes on,  it can say something like:  “Reward if found:  (plus your phone number)

Or you could  create a .txt file that says the Kindle belongs to you and  give your cell number and email address and then state that there’s a reward if returned to you. The title of the document would be REWARD For Return of Kindle To Owner. Keep that document listed first or second on  your home menu so it’s hopefully easy to see.

Of course, all of this would work is the Kindle still has some battery left, but what if not? For that you should always use the “low tech” way… just paste your business card on the back of your Kindle book reader.
