Amazon Kindles Hacked? Users reporting hundreds of Kindle Fires getting all data wiped.
Self, Amazon user website | 22 April 2016 | RACookPE1978

Many hundreds of Amazon Kindle Fire users are reporting their Kindle registration data and all account information stored on their Kiindle electronic readers have been wiped clean - the kindle has been returned back to zero-zero or original empty. No name, no account, no stored books, no stored videos or audio or music, not even a single piece of anything loaded on the device.

On the Amazon feedback site, there is no solution. No one has reported losing power or physical harm (dropped the kindle, dipped it in water or a tub, lost power completely, nor did anything but "turned it on this morning. And everything was gone."

Well I guess if you are going to read all 420 books or whatever right now. Otherwise you just download when you need them.
