I finally did Reset, reregister, and it seems to have un-stuck the delivery queue. No doubt Amazon CS (at least in their better days) could have done something on their end, but I have not had much luck with them lately.
I wanted to get all of the books I had on it back so I created a collection of everything downloaded (a little faster to use ‘add all on page’ option).
Then to restore in same order it was in (more or less), I set order to Recent and navigated to the last page of the collection and started d/l of the last book and worked my way back in batches, removing the downloaded titles from the collection before doing the next batch.
Turns out the Kindle is terrible at this. The download adds a second entry for the same book at the top of Recent order (page 1) but leaves it in place at the end as well. And after removing the titles (Using add/remove menu option), there is no refresh of the collection, so the downloaded titles visually remain in the collection list. Had to Back out and re-open to make them go away. Also one of the titles was in Spanish and since this was the first Spanish title downloaded after the reset, it downloaded Spanish-English dictionary and THAT showed up in the collection I was editing. Strange.
