You could simply purchase a ten or twenty dollar gift card ... or ask a relative to give you one for your next birthday or holiday. That card could establish an Amazon.com account.
I wouldn't personally use the term "discriminatory" because Amazon.com does, indeed, publicly state on their Web site that a credit card or Amazon gift card is necessary to access books on their site.
BUT - If I felt like you are feeling, I would certainly try to "sweet talk" myself into a resolution. I'd say that that "credit card or gift card" requirement wasn't easily found on the Web site. I'd tell them that their device was recommended to me as the finest eReading experience available ...
You get the picture. Legally, Amazon can tell you to have a nice day and kiss you off. Put yourself in the Amazon customer service rep's shoes for a moment, and think to yourself: "WIll I get further by yelling "DISCRIMINATION!" or by trying to sweet talk the rep. What approach from a client would YOU feel inclined to "work things out" with???
