I know this is a bit morbid but I was walking the dog earlier and thinking about a book-addicted friend who has just died and how much she would have loved having a Kindle.

I wondered what happens to the books if you die as they are associated with an Amazon account which would presumably get closed as part of the housekeeping at some point (I guess Amazon must have a clear-out of accounts that have been inactive for a long time eventually?)

Do they just stay on the Kindle and the new owner would register their own account with Amazon - in which case would they deregister all the existing books?

Isn't it amazing what drivel your mind comes up with when walking the dog in the rain?
