You can’t now use the store, but items bought via the website or a newer kindle still sync ok. Using the store was awful on the old kindles anyway so that makes no difference to me.
That's great news indeed! I still am not able to re-register. K5 though and have been in contact with the customer service, hoping that the technical department would be able to register the device -- no luck yet for about a week.

In my case, the device does not accept my login credentials ("no such account" type of error) -- consequently, no key in my emails either.
In any case, many thanks for pointing out that registering older kindles is still possible. My issue is an individual one, then..

Update Next Day: Registered! It turns out that they were sending OTP's (One-time-password) to the phone as a text message. I have been missing them completely: Here is what happens (still, i'd say, it's somewhat peculiar):
When attempting to register/ login with the Kindle 5, the device says that the username/ password do not match, they couldn't find an account with those credentials...
Yet, while saying that amazon was sending an OTP to the mobile too -- and that one-time password worked on Kindle 5, as you said...

It's thanks to your post that I noticed those messages --I wasn't paying any attention to them at all.

What I still cannot figure out is how one would be able to register the device to a new account with no linked phone number. Glad to hear that the OTP's were e-mailed in your case...
