At the risk of getting shouted at or banned as user of this forum can I say that yet again most people are missing the point in all this.

I don't give a toss about losing Amazon as a seller. Are they convenient, hell yes, are they worth the risk, No. There other sellers, my Surface 3 came from John Lewis, my work monitor from Currys, my two Kobo's and my Voyage from Argos, my Surface 3 case from Allexpress, my Voyage cases from eBay. I don't buy food, clothes, shoes, make up etc or anything like that from Amazon anyway.

The issue is, and in my case only this. Losing access to my digital content when a) my current devices no longer work, and the closure of my Audible account (which has never been in any problem). I have multiple letters from Amazon confirming that IF my account was ever closed by them I would lose everything. I have that in writing.

It should be simple enough of Amazon to block an account from purchasing, both physical and digital if they wanted, without closing the account, therefore ensuring that new devices purchased from other retailers, and apps could still access previously purchased digital content.
