In any case, (and to almost get back on topic...) I can't find any indication anywhere that the closing of her account was because she was sharing her account with a family member. Can you point me to a link where that is stated?

That was why I put a question mark after that item in my list of possibilities since Amazon never supplied any reason.

My reasoning was that a while back, I heard from one acquaintance after she and her husband purchased a Kindle as a gift for a friend. The Kindle was shipped pre-configured with their account information. When they questioned a book purchase, Amazon's first level support was not very supportive even though it was made clear that she was not aware that pre-configuration before shipping was standard for Amazon at that time. A suggestion that their account could be suspended for sharing books with their friend was tossed around. Admittedly, the next person she talked to was able to remove the purchase and sent information on how to change the account used by the gifted Kindle.

Anyhow, I think we've beaten this issue to death so perhaps time to let the thread wander off into the sunset.
