This attractive white Kindle is loaded with 82 books (see titles in photos attached; I may not have room for all nine pages of titles).  Can be unlocked any time.  Just Google "Unlock My Kindle" and you'll have a dozen step-by-step unlocking guides to follow, some of which are in video.  Chip in upper corner has absolutely no effect on the functionality of the Kindle.  You'll soon forget it's there.  The charging "dock" is, in fact a charging cord and plug.  Note that by pulling the cord out of the plug it will plug into the USB ports on your computer.  The "case" is a non-slip rubber cover that cushions the Kindle from damage.
