The guy that Damaetas quotes on Page 4 of this thread had returned 'a number of items'. Ian on Page 2 of this thread states that he has recieved a 'string of defective items'. I'm sorry, but I buy lots of stuff and I have virtually never had to return anything! There is just no way that there have been that many issues for any given individual and I think Amazon (or indeed any retailer) are perfectly within their rights to refuse service to people who are clearly abusing the system.
It's not the question if they can't buy stuff (a shop can always refuse a customer) anymore but if they can't use their bought ebooks anymore that's in my opinion a crime. It's equivalent if Amazon would request all paperback books back after they closed the account.

Microsoft is successful as well, despite the fact that their are bulling other companies for years. And think about all these idiots who voted for G.W.Bush. There are enough dumb asses who just don't learn or don't want to learn.
