RIGHTS OF ACCESS AND USE & more importantly let's not forget Section 23 subsection 1 "M'Lord" !!
You may wish to consider whether you need to buy from Amazon a KU subscription for each and every one of your children and maybe even a spare "guest account" in case you want to show someone else a quote from any other Amazon content !!
Just putting it out there! See;

If you are serious you are really getting carried away here. It is simply incorrect to interpret these words so as to prevent your child reading on your Kindle

Again I'm a "verified" paid up member not a scammer of ANY flavour!
Do me the courtesy of telling me the rules before you BLOCK me.
(incidentally I did actually manage to look at another 9 KU books before before the spotty work experience kids at Amazon locked me out again)

We may not yet have any indication from Amazon about what the limit actually is. But we do know that the number of books you borrowed from KU exceeds that limit. Can you please share with us exactly how many books you had borrowed from KU in the month before you were banned. This will at least give some idea.
The measure you have been caught by is an anti-fraud measure and a good and necessary one. It is understandable that Amazon does not want to release the exact number of books involved, as it may assist scammers by allowing them to split their activities into segments just below this number. Amazon is in a continual battle with scammers. It pays authors in KU by pages read. So the author of a scam book in KU makes nothing unless someone clicks through the pages of the book. One technique used by KU scammers is so-called click farms, where low paid workers click through their books to generate page reads. I accept that you are not participating in any type of fraud, though I'm still not clear on exactly what you are doing. I don't like the fact that you haven't shared the number of books involved, but assume you are about to do so. Regardless, it appears that, from Amazon's point of view, the way you are using KU is both unusual and indistinguishable from some of the techniques used by scammers. It is unrealistic to expect that Amazon will phone you in these circumstances. Everyone is well aware of their degree of automation. Where Amazon does fall down, especially with Authors, is in communicating after the action has been taken and, if necessary, remedying that action.
You will soon get kicked out of a smorgasbord if you are taking huge plates of food, taking a bite out of each item before discarding your plate and then going back for more. I must admit that so far you have not attracted my sympathy nor am I willing to condemn Amazon. I will be very interested in any full explanation of exactly what you were doing and why and details of the numbers of books involved. After all, KU lends books for the purpose of reading them.
