I don't believe that you are lying I just don't think you are telling us everything.

It is rare that Amazon shuts down an account. It is even more rare that they give such a vague response for shutting down an account. Your report does not fit with the other reports from folks who have had their accounts shut down by Amazon.

The reason is vague and Amazon's response is just not in line with every other report that I have ever heard. Now you tell us they have given you partial access to your account? No one who has had an account shut down has been given partial access to their account. Either Amazon reopens the account, like the guy who returned too much, or the account is closed, like those who have been hacked or busted for violation of policy.

Something does not add up. Which makes me think you are omitting details that would paint you in a bad light.

this is pitiful. We know nothing except what you have told us. Amazon has verified that they closed your account for cause. Go somewhere else to buy, and sell, things.

What it sounds like is that since the Kindle was blacklisted, the DRMed content was removed since the Kindle can no longer handle Amazon's DRM. That or if the Kindle is now unregistered, the content could still be on it but the Kindle is unable to see it since it doesn't know the key.

So just to finish this story: according to your story some books were on the Kindle and some books on your account. How many books could you have possibly bought within two months?
Can't be too many unless you are reading 7/24.

Maybe this thread is the novel. I sure have spent a lot of time reading it.

Nothing personal, I don't "believe" anything either way just based on what an anonymous stranger posts on a public Internet forum.

I strongly advocate that position for everyone.

So if I decide to switch phones, I won't have access to those apps again.

However -- I could just extract the APK files and transfer them over to my new device and install using Astro file manager, but I won't get any future updates if developers decide to release any of them. I wish I could download all my applications, but I don't have access to all of them in amazon's cloud, just the ones on my phone. I'll let you guys know in future updates if Amazon allows access to the rest of my digital content but from what I've seen in their e-mail responses, it doesn't look like it.
The problem is most Amazon apps have DRM on them and without access to the app store your apps wont work anyway.

You can back up any app you have installed using ES File Manager's app manger. I do this with all my apps.

The number of books one purchases does not necessarily relate to the rate one reads books.

Indeed not. Or I wouldn't have 350+ ebooks in my TBR folder!

Too true. I've gotten well over 400 free books from Amazon since December.

Well this has been a truly entertaining read. Twists and turn, insights and sometimes even out of sight.

Loved the opening. It had me gripped from the beginning. I kept wondering when the scary thing would be introduced. I felt almost nervous myself.

Anyway back to Game Of Thrones I guess.

I know, but that was not the point I was making. I wanted to assess the "damage" that could result from ebook purchases during two months ...
