There isn't one because Amazon makes the product. ASIN numbers are vendor SKUs.

I like this question.  The bar-code for the Kindle 3G with wifi is 892685001256. That number is for the device. 

You can search the Internet with just the numbers on anything these days and get great information.

For almost anything...If you know the time but need the ASIN, find the item you're looking for on Amazon then scroll about half way down the page to where you find the item's description. It will be in the same area that lists information like the item's weight and dimensions. Sometimes the item's information is hard to find since there is so much unrelated information on the page but it's there. (Hit the Control key and F, then enter "ASIN" without the " marks. It should put you in the right place and save you some time. MAC users may try using the keys Option and F.)

Here's a good link from Amazon help. It's a great explanation of the differences between UPC, bar codes, ASIN, ISBN and EANs. It's more info than you asked for but I know other people will probably find it useful.

If the link doesn't work, here's what it states -no pictures.

  What are UPCs, EANs, ISBNs. and ASINs? UPC
Universal Product Code (UPC) is a 12-digit bar code used extensively for retail packaging in United States.

EAN
The European Article Number (EAN) is a barcode standard, a 12- or 13-digit product identification  code. Each EAN uniquely identifies the product, manufacturer, and its attributes; typically, the EAN is printed on a product label or packaging as a bar code. We require EAN codes to improve quality of search results and the quality of the catalog as a whole. You can obtain EANs from the manufacturer. If your products do not have manufacturer EANs, and you need to buy EAN codes, you; should go directly to GS1 UK http://www.gs1uk.org

For example, the EAN of  "Colgate Total 75 ml" is 4011200296908

ISBN
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique commercial book identifier barcode. Each ISBN code identifies uniquely a book. ISBN have either 10 or 13 digits. All ISBN assigned after 1 Jan 2007 have 13 digits. Typically, the ISBN is printed on the back cover of the book.

For example, the ISBN code for J.K.Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", Adult Edition, Paperback, UK edition is 978-0747595823, and this code identifies uniquely this book and edition.



ASINs
Amazon Standard Identification Numbers (ASINs) are unique blocks of 10 letters and/or numbers that identify items. You can find the ASIN on the item's product information page at Amazon.com. For books, the ASIN is the same as the ISBN number, but for all other products a new ASIN is created when the item is uploaded to our catalogue. You will find an item's ASIN on the product detail page alongside further details relating to the item, which may include information such as size, number of pages (if it's a book) or number of discs (if it's a CD).

ASINs can be used to search for items in our catalogue. If you know the ASIN or ISBN of the item you are looking for, simply type it into the search box (which can be found near the top of most pages), hit the "Go" button and, if the item is listed in our catalogue, it will appear in your search results.

For example, the ASIN for Hasbro's "Monopoly" game is B00005N5PF.
