From The New York Times:

If your Kindle Fire e-reader goes missing, Amazon advises that you log into the Manage Your Kindle page on its Web site and unregister the device from your Amazon account. To cut the missing Kindle loose after you log in, find it in the list of devices and apps registered to your account and click the Deregister button next to it.

If you have subscribed to any electronic newspapers or magazines on the lost Kindle, cancel those subscriptions on the Manage Your Kindle page as well to stop the billing. You should get a refund for any issues left on the subscription.

If you suspect the Kindle has been stolen or lost you may also want to file a report with the local police department and contact Amazon's Kindle customer service department. While you may not get your e-reader back, Amazon has been known to blacklist the serial numbers of stolen Kindles so that the device cannot be re-registered with another Amazon account to buy content from the online Kindle store.

if books are being bought from your account, you can simply go into it and deattach your card information- that way they will have to enter all of the info manually, and since the autofill doesnt show the full info, you'll be safe from protection (in case future incidents arise
