Multiple Amazon Accounts

For the past ten years or so, I've been buying ebooks on Amazon Kindle, and digital comic books and graphic novels on Comixology. Between the two, they total several thousand.

Well, for those that don't know, back in February, Amazon and Comixology merged. Now all of my ebooks, comic books, and graphic novels are all in one great, big library, with no way to filter out either ebooks or comic books and graphic novels. Worse, Amazon keeps sending comic books and graphic novels to my Oasis, which can't even properly display them. Since the comic books and graphic novels contain many pictures, the file sizes are also huge, filling my Oasis' storage. It's gotten so bad that I've just stopped buying on Amazon entirely and stopped reading because the ebooks, comic books, and graphic novels are just so jumbled together.

So, here's what I'm thinking: I'll deregister my Oasis. Make a new Amazon account for ebooks and general use, and then make a second new Amazon account strictly for digital comic books and graphic novels. Since Amazon won't separate them, I will. Any new purchases will be made on those accounts, and I'll slowly, over a period of years, re-buy the ebooks, comic books, and graphic novels that I wish to re-read.

Does anyone see an issue with that plan? 'Cause the current situation is ludicrous. You can read more about it here if you wish. If only Amazon didn't have a monopoly on digital comic books and graphic novels...
