[QUOTE=shalym;3019468]Ok--I remember that, but I didn't remember that it had anything to do with two people sharing an account, and re-reading it, I still don't see that it does. Can you point out where it says that her account was closed because she was sharing her kindle account with another person?
I'm sorry to seem like I'm fixating on this, but it is very important, as one of the things that Amazon advertises is the ability to share your account with family members...they even created a way to have separate profiles so that you can hide some books from some people (so if I had adult books I could hide them from my children, while still allowing my children access to the other books on my account)/QUOTE]
The problem is that no one knows for sure why the account was closed and then re-instated. The only items that Linn Nygaard was aware of that might have been an issue was
- Having given Amazon an UK address they wanted before shipping a replacement for her defective Kindle. Amazon would not ship to Norway since there was no Amazon office in Norway.
- Giving her original Kindle purchased in the UK.her mother after transferring her account to a Kindle obtained from a Danish classified ad. Did her mother continue using her account?
- Using a UK address when ordering ebooks from Amazon.co.uk?
If you read some of the emails from Amazon in Matin Bekkelund's post (definitely worth a chuckle):
Outlawed by Amazon DRM
And a followup story after her account was restored:
Linn Nygaard Deleted Account Restored
There is no information from Amazon as to why her account was deleted and re-instated. Stating that her account status should not have affected her ability to access previously purchased books did not help when they had removed her purchases from her Kindle.
Edit: In response to a PM, I've worked in IT for quite a few years. I know that I am paranoid, I just don't know if I am paranoid enough! They are out to get me -- just check the firewall logs.
