What is your experience here? I have a HBR subscription and would really dislike it for the past issues to be gone.
Thanks!

I've seen the same warning the other way around, when switching from my main account in Germany.
Amazon describes the differences for eBooks, apps, movies and so on.
I don't have any subscriptions, so I didn't run into any problems.
Their (Amazon's) assumption: If you switch countries, you're most likely physically in that country. And then Amazon is not willing to pay the additional costs for data transfer. You receive a similar message on your Kindles.
Something like: "You can buy your books globally and receive them for free. But not so for subscriptions".
Given the warning from Amazon:
Your active subscription gets cancelled.
The remaining issues will be refunded.
You remain in the other account for some time.
You switch back to your main account and start the subscription again.
You shouldn't loose any money or issues by that.
Only question: What about the former issues? Would you want to access them again?
