I found FrustratedReader and DuckieTigger's posts very confusing!
stumped: My kindle didn't "see" Amazon for 4 years - I hadn't registered the actual device, but Amazon had created a kindle account for me via the phone. The kindle is always in aeroplane mode and I'd been downloading books to add to kindle via usb during that time, and bought many freebies and low priced ebooks from Amazon.
When I wanted to register the kindle itself I had no problems. I just used a friend's wifi and my Amazon password and the process was painless. I didn't have any of the issues that the OP has.
So I don't think that the length of time has anything to do with the registration problem (although I was using the account frequently). Maybe the OP could return to give more detail.
