To those who had questions regarding why I logged onto my kindle via a closed account, it was to see if maybe I could access my archived books on my kindle. I know I couldn't access it on Amazon.com, but maybe there was a slight chance that I could access them through my archive as that does not require entering an amazon e-mail and password. I guess upon turning my wifi on and clicking the "archived books" line, my Kindle was automatically flagged and blacklisted.

If books disappear from a deregistered Kindle, they must have been removed manually or the device must have been reset to factory conditions. I suppose a malfunction could have resulted in deleting books without affecting any other function although I haven't heard of such a thing.
You don't "log-in" on a Kindle. When the device is registered to an account and the WiFi is on, you're always "logged in." If you attempt to register to a closed/non-existent account, the attempt will fail. Since the connection to Amazon remains severed, they have no access to the Kindle to "punish you" for the attempt. Is it possible that a floor lamp might still illuminate after the power cord has been unplugged from the electrical outlet? No. It's either plugged in or it isn't.
What model Kindle do you have? You've never mentioned it.
