I'm going to make one interesting and relevant point which does not seem to have been canvassed. Many Western jurisdictions have consumer laws and tribunals which are extremely cheap and quick and favour consumers. For example, New South Wales (the Australian state, not part of the UK) has a Fair Trading Tribunal which would appear to have jusrisdiction in this type of case. I imagine that, depending on Amazon's reasons for cancelling an account, they woudl probably not interfere with the cancellation. However, I expect they would take a very dim view of Amazon not allowing access to purchased content, and may well even award monetary compensation if absolutely necessary. Also of interest would be what amounts to supervised mediation at the beginning of the process. Similar Tribunals exist in other Australian States. I would be surprised if similar Tribunals do not exist in the UK and perhaps even Canada. I don't care to speculate about the Civil Law jurisdictions of te EU, but given the Nanny State mentaility in that particular region of the world?
It is in Amazon's interests to be reasonable.
