**is so tempted to mess up Bilbo's pretty Karma...**
Now I'm hungry. Since I suspect we'll be getting shut down anyway, I'll take this opportunity to offer my conclusions. Not everything in this story has added up as we've gone along. But as someone previously posted, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle. I make no claims to know how this all actually started - only that I pointed out one possible Prime terms violation which may or may not be relevant. I initially doubted the OPs claims that he got his books back simply because of how he first explained that. But things eventually started making a bit more sense. My thoughts are thus: As more and more people are using the Kindle platform, Amazon would likely have had to adjust their practices for handling closed accounts, especially those involving linked accounts. It appears that in order to avoid considerable future costs (and possibly anticipating that the "license vs buy" issue with regard to ebooks may hit a rough patch down the road) they've started selectively limiting accounts in certain situations. This is a sensible decision, in my opinion. |

Yeah, that would have been funnier an hour ago. Timing! And yes, the above was a meta-joke about comedic timing in a time travel context. |
