Sad story of hacking and sync failure
My Charter Spectrum email account was getting hacked or at least plagerized. Someone was logging into websites, e.g. amazon, and requesting a password change. Then they succeeded in placing credit card orders on some websites.
I was having to change my amazon password almost every time I logged in even though I have 2FA.
I found changing to my gmail email address stopped the hacking on those websites including amazon. I removed my Charter Spectrum address from amazon and specified no more contact to that address. Next day I got a password change notification from amazon to that Charter Spectrum email account. But I noticed that although it was sent 12 hours after the no more email notification, the amazon account from which it was sent was in India. Perhaps just a slow update but probably not. I changed my password again but now it seems okay.
Reading my Paperwhite yesterday, getting fed up with another freebie from BookBub, I logged in to amazon and bought a mystery. But I couldn't get it onto the Paperwhite nor my Fire. I opened the Kindle app on my computer and see the new purchase but none of my earlier buys.
I suspect if I deregister my Paperwhite or my Fire I'll lose all my existing books and only have the one just purchased.
How do I fix this?
Thanks.
