Black Kindle Paperwhite e-reader
Description
I was lounging on the couch yesterday around 3pm and must've left my black Kindle Paperwhite on the coffee table. It's a 2019 model, about 6 inches, with a matte black bezel and a small crack running along the bottom-right corner. The back cover has a faint coffee stain, and there's a tiny blue star sticker on the inner cover that's never come off. I last had it near the Missouri Riverfront overlook at Main Street and Capitol Ave in Pierre, SD. This Kindle holds a ton of travel notes I've been saving, and it really helped me unwind—I'd be grateful to get it back. If you found it, email me at [email protected] and we can figure out pickup.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
