Amazon has the right to be wrong. It also has the right to arbitrarily or erroneously decide not to sell its products to someone (putting aside civil rights violations). And it has no obligation to keep a copy of a digital item on its website so that customers can redownload it.
Basically, the OP is screwed. There's a dim possibility that a small claims court action might allow him/her to recover the cost of the Fire, since one might argue that Amazon makes an implied promise of access to the Amazon store when it sells you one. But truthfully, the small claims court route will cost more than could ever be recovered, in time or money. The only reason to do it would be if you were retired and wanted to fill the empty hours by trying to jerk the legal department around.
Basically, taking the OP at his/her word, what this shows is that Amazon has made a business decision that it is not going to invest its resources in arguing with its customers, even if the customer might be right, where it appears to Amazon that the customer is related to someone trying to rip Amazon off.
