Your Kindle is effectively linked to Credit Card if your account has a credit card. I change address slightly (even as it was works) if I'm loaning Kindle or worried about 1 Click etc as then Kindle purchases are blocked and website purchase needs the Card details confirmed.
The way Amazon uses Credit Card and allows purchases too easily via Kindle is shoddy. The so called "1 Click" is nonsense too.
A separate problem is being in Ireland. Some things can be bought of USA site (postage too high) or German site (has English and same Currency as Ireland, Euro). However ALL eBooks must be bought from Amazon.co.uk, in STERLING if your address is Irish. Also Search mostly does not indicate if whatever can be shipped at all, you can ONLY be sure doing checkout, at which point not only does the price change more than the difference in VAT, but shipping changes. Then sometimes when confirmation email with "the order can no longer be changed" the origin is Hong Kong or China and not the original listed UK address.
I found I could not complete checkout on ANY Amazon site with a refurbished PaperWhite 2015. The final price for a new model was "free shipping" but £20 more, no £10 discount as per listing.
Also they preregister the Kindle to your account!
The LEAST of the problems is Amazon letting you re-purchase the same eBook.
