I don't know the situation with Android apps.
I really think that Amazon hasn't really thought this (forced account closure) through properly yet with regard to Kindle ebooks.

I must believe they have thought this through --- Amazon seems to be convinced he has done something "really horrible" or they would give him a grace period to re-download the items. Otherwise they would be setting themselves up for a big time lawsuit. So IF the OP is an innocent victim he should contact a lawyer.
But even if he has not removed the DRM he still has the files on his Kindle and could remove the DRM now -- or keep on using them with DRM. As long as the Kindle doesn't call home via WiFi or 3G they will remain there (and I don't Amazon would secretly remove them, even if his reader could connect to the server, after the 1984 incident).
