If you re-register on the Kindle apps (whether desktop or smartphone/tablet) it will delete all books and refresh the cloud list from the servers. This is unavoidable. Just redownload all your books.

You wouldn't be able to read them anyway -- because most will probably have DRM, in which case it is locked to the old encryption keys from before the deregistration.

Why did you deregister anyway?

when on amazon web it showed up as 2 macs ( only got 1) and wont responed
infact it crashed the computer completly

its now registered on both the mac and net book works fine with my net book
but still crashed the mac all i get is a white block where the banner for kindle is.

we had to re install as my drive failed yesterday a new usb case for the external drive i use to back my work on over heated and screwed the main drive.

so reinstalling from scratch

just checked and even though kindle for mac isnt working its now registerd

and now totally unsure what to do .
so un did my changes
un pluged extrnal hd
unpluged usb
remove android file transfer
removed kindle for mac
empted trash can

now back to a booting system but im not sure how to go forward
( this means im now back to friday with everything)
also can see time machine

lol sorry for long explanation
but thought if you read the whole thing it may help.

btw that extrnal drive case is fried melted only had thin layer of heat protection sponge .
