Using a debricked demo unit.
I got given a kindle demo unit recently (on the top it says "DEMO" and "NOT FOR SALE") through the use of this forum and the excellent Kubrick software I was able to re-flash it and it now works like an ordinary kindle.
I was wondering however if it is still able to be synced with my amazon account; which I was previously using for the android Kindle app. My main concern I guess is they lock my account because I do not have a legitimate serial number or something. I don't know if it's important or not but I think I should also mention that after the kindle was "debricked," the Kubrick software recommended that I jailbreak it as well; so I chose that option. |

You should be able to register your un-demo'd unit.
It seems that Amazon never blacklisted the demo serial numbers. |

What models have been successfully dedemoed or undemoed or whatever the correct term is?
Thanks, Andy |

I'm personally aware of K3, K4, and KT. Not sure about PW/older models/DX, but I guess it's the same principle. The hardware is the same, so if you manage to install "production" software on it, it'll just work.

This is a bit of a late response but if anyone is interested it is working fine with my Kindle account
