Fast forward a year. He's gone - but the device is still registered to him. If she buys books through the device, they'll go on his account and he'll pay for them. Obviously not what she wants. But if she deregisters her device and registers it to her own account, won't she lose all her books?

Is there a better way to go about it, that hopefully does not involve getting in touch with him again?

How simple life was only a decade ago...
She could try writing to Amazon Customer Services, but even if they agreed to move some books to a new account, they'd certainly have to contact and get agreement from her old boyfriend, as it's his account that the books would be being removed from.
