Why do you think it's a Sony troll? It sounds like he loves his Kindle, and he definitely handled it way better than I would have (obviously since I was the one like ACK CALL CONSUMERIST STAT!!!)
But regardless, this is still a pretty big deal. We know amazon has done this in the past, but now if they do it to a Kindle owner (especially AFTER this DMCA stuff), it brings to light a massive weak spot, and shows the potential trouble with having DRM and less open devices.
Someone else mentioned Amazon giving a warning to at least Kindle owners before this happens.
FWIW, I believe him, but it's pretty irrelevant at this point. The only thing I see is someone has a Kindle and amazon closes an account, they are stuck (according to Amazon's rules) with basically a useless device. But, like BOb said, if they break the contract, I guess the customer can too at that point.
