I threatened to sue them in small claims court (US) and they agreed to reimburse me 100% of the cost of a new one.
And yes, I surely would have sued them for the $150+ cost, no lie.
This feels like a good reason that lawyers and class action lawsuits exist.

It wouldn't be so bad if "registration" was sort of optional, didn't matter, but the fact is that an unregistered Kindle is crippled. No series, no collections, no books with DRM.
But the Verge adds:
