Changing account associated with Kindle

I own a Kindle Touch, the 2012 version, and until recently I had it associated with my someone else's account. However, I now want to change it to my own account, but I've obviously bought various books, collections and also got some dictionaries.

If I change the account, will I lose all of them? I transferred everything to my Calibre application on my computer, but I'm not sure if they'll still remain there after the change.

Anecdotal experiences are fine, but I'd appreciate some official proof on this if you manage to find some.

Send instapaper articles to free.kindle address

Is there a way to send articles to my kindle from Instapaper using the username@free.kindle.com address? I don't need the articles delivered over 3G, but would prefer to have them delivered over Wi-Fi instead of having to do the manual download, load to Calibre, then sync with Kindle dance.

How can I send a Kindle book to the Amazon cloud reader?

How can I send a book to my Amazon Cloud reader from the Amazon page?

I remember being able to do that before, but know, I can only do 'Deliver to:' my Android device, my PC or my Mac, but the cloud reader is not there. I can't even do this with free books.

I can access the cloud reader at http://read.amazon.com, but I can't add any more books to it.

2 Amazon accounts supporting 1 Kindle

My family just recently purchased a Kindle. Both my wife and I have separate Amazon accounts. Can we connect both Amazon accounts to the same Kindle so that I could make whatever purchase I want from my account and she could make whatever purchase she wants from her account, but have them go to the 1 Kindle?

How do I delete documents from the Amazon cloud?

I used the Mac Amazon 'send to Kindle' application to send a few text files to my iPad. This works, except there's no way to delete files.

The iPad's Kindle app's delete button only deletes files from the device, rather than the cloud. Normally I would go onto Amazon's website to delete the files, but in this case I had unchecked the 'Archive document in your Kindle Library' checkbox. So the documents don't appear on the Kindle webapp.

How do I delete these docs?

How do I search the Amazon Kindle lending library through my browser?

I can't figure out how I can search the subset of books available for lending. Amazon's website search appears to only have a "Kindle Store" option. And on this help page I can see how one can determine whether a given book is available for lending, but there's no instructions on how to search only in the subset of lendable books. Is there anyway to search for these books on Amazon?

What does Amazon.com's "Kindle Edition" actually mean?

I understand Kindle to be a brand name of a tablet computer. Does this mean that if I buy the "Kindle Edition" of a book I won't be able to read it on my PC or Samsung tablet? Sometimes a book in Kindle Edition is cheaper than elsewhere, but I want to know that I'll be able to read it without having a Kindle device. Is this possible?

Send RSS feeds to Kindle

Is there a way to automatically send RSS feeds from Google Reader to Kindle every day at a scheduled time? Basically I would like to receive the title of the unread feeds, then when I click that feed item would be downloaded to Kindle.

Sending a link to Instapaper FROM a Kindle

Say you are surfing using the Kindle 3's actually-pretty-good web browser, and you want to read something later, or perhaps the page contains video or something else that the Kindle can't display.

How could you send a link to your Instapaper account FROM your Kindle (3)?

The browser has bookmarks but I don't know how to get Instapaper's bookmarklet in to there since it's JavaScript, or even if that would work.

Is it my Kindle appearing as VAP430 in Google Security Audit?

Google has a nice security feature where you can check the devices that connected via your account over the last month. When I recently ran this report I was alarmed to see a "Vizio VAP430" appearing, a device which I do not own. First thought was that this was an intrusion. However after thinking about the times reported, I realized that they corresponding to when I accessed my Google account via my Kindle.

So my questions are:
1) Has anyone else seen this behavior?
2) Why would a Kindle be reported as a VAP430?
