Ok, after several unanswered emails, numerous attempts to register (via my computer and via my Kindle), and one failed attempt at communication over the phone with customer service (good ol' language barrier), I was about ready to give up. I hadn't been able to get any signal at all since receiving my Kindle, and no-one at Amazon seemed to know why. But then... When I got home from work today, I decided to give it one more try. Only, this time, I'd attempt to shop at the Amazon store via my Kindle (at opposed to trying to register it), ignoring the "not registered" message and the zero signal strength; and, lo and behold, it worked! Suddenly I'm registered and my first purchased digital book has just finished downloading! And my signal strength is maxed out to boot.
I thought I should share, in case any of my fellow Canucks run into similar issues. The lesson: When all else fails, just try to connect to the Amazon store. Worked for me.
Oh, and Barcey, I can assure you I'll be wearing a <i>real</i> Cowichan sweater in 2010.
