Pdurrant is attempting to at least make Amazon think about it.

Personally I think we need laws, I just don't expect them any time soon.
I agree. There should be a clear policy.
Worthwhile to remember there are other options to back up books and music, digital video is a particular problem that I see no solution for, which is why I quit buying digital video at Amazon. The core of this issue, to me at least, is owning/controlling digital purchases no matter what Amazon does with customer accounts. The more customers who end up with closed accounts and trouble accessing their purchased digital content, the more it convinces me not to buy anything digital from Amazon that I cannot personally store and save. Google offers a back up for up to 1,000 books and 50,000 songs for free.

We have that in the UK too, the add-on items only ship with orders of £20 or more. These are usually items that are less than £3 or thereabouts.
As far as I am concerned, anything that comes up with the option of free Prime next day (or same day) delivery is fine to have as a single order, otherwise what's the point of having Prime?
I totally agree. I order plenty of single item orders and have never had an issue. I certainly never feel like I'm abusing Amazon by doing this. If Amazon wants to stipulate that an order requires more money spent to ship it, obviously that's up to them. However, if they don't make a stipulation, I can't see the problem.

I really don't think there is any rhyme or reason to it. Tonight I ordered a very lightweight pencil sharpener for $6.00 and I didn't have to add anything else to the order to get Prime shipping.

According to Amazon the reason for the add-on orders is to let them include items in Prime that they couldn't otherwise afford to. I don't know if that's what's really in their minds or not but it does make sense.

I agree , I also have not purchased digital videos, from Amazon for the same reason. As far as closure of accounts goes, lets hope the Lawyers \ Barristers all shop on Amazon. I think they probably all have accounts

The side discussion, which all MR threads end up having, was about Add On Items and what criteria Amazon uses to determine they be an Add On Item, one idea floated was weight.

Has there been any word from Amazon on account closure and access to digital purchaes?

Has anyone head about recent account closures and what happened to digital purchases?

If there wasn't all the other chatter, it would be clear that I've had some emails back from Amazon UK promising me a response in the new year, i.e. any week now.
