Lose Your Amazon Account and Your Kindle Dies

Posted by timothy on from the just-give-us-the-money-and-nobody-gets-hurt dept.

Mike writes "If you buy a Kindle and some Kindle ebooks from Amazon, be careful of returning items. Amazon decided that one person had returned too many things, so they suspended his Amazon account, which meant that he could no longer buy any Kindle books, and any Kindle subscriptions he's paid for stop working. After some phone calls, Amazon granted him a one-time exception and reactivated his account again." Take this with as much salt as you'd like.

    Any device which comes with this much DRM should be prefixed with "i".
