Your very very best bet is to call Kindle support hotline. Look under "kindle support' on Amazon.com They are trained to deal with this.
Good luck!

Amazon is having problems with their S3 services (which appear to include Kindle downloads)

Someone linked to a great website:

See at a glance if it's an Amazon issue, how cool. Except for the "down" part.

At about 5 PM PDT four items purchased earlier today (around noon) finally downloaded.

Interesting.....different scenarios for different parts of the country.

Mine still hasn't downloaded, but I'm (fairly) sure that the Sprint network is down. The wireless appears to be working, but instead of the usual 4 bars, I get zero bars. Hmmmmm.
