Because if something happens, you'll be like a slave without any rights; you'll just lose your stuff and you cannot do anything to restore it.
You won't believe it but I just had another call with an Amazon agent and he was able to resolve the issue completely! I have to say I am impressed with them this time. They had actually sent a couple of emails asking me to get in touch again to try and resolve it so I thought I'd try one more time.

The guy stayed with it and managed to find the old account and change the email address associated with it. So I can now access the account and download those books to my new iPad. Brilliant!

Thanks for your help with this and to everyone who contributed. And yes, I will be backing up all my Kindle books!
