Amazon has closed my account. It started when Amazon started draining my eCash card with "fees". Then they transfered two of my gift cards (they were supposed to credit my eCash account instead) to my wife's separate account and I ended up buying my own Christmas present this year.The fees do not show up as charges, just money tranfers. I protested through Customer Service, was informed that the "problem" would be fixed, and that I would be compensated for the losses. None of that happened. In May, I tried to close the account. Five times since May. Each time, Amazon has cancelled the closed (until now) due to the fact that Kindle Publishing had issued a permant red listing of my name, saying that I would "never be allowed to submit or publish anything through Amazon again." Today, they cancelled my account. Goodreads also "cancelled" me. I now have no books listed with Goodreads, purchased or or the one published under my name and sold through Barnes & Noble Nook Books. No books that I've purchased or read now have any notes or highlights listed anymore.

I cannot close my account with them either, unless I first login at Amazon.

So....I can no longer buy any of the books you folks sell on Amazon, the only place you can purchase Kindle ebooks. I'll miss reading your stuff.

Sorry way to end things, no more new books to read.

ps, the only good thing that hasn't happened (yet) is that Amazon has not erased the 278 ebooks I have purchased from them since 2010.
I can still read them on my old Kindle. I'm currently rereading all the Ell Donsaii books by Tanya Allan (I have ALL of her books on my Kindle, along with all of Daring Diane's books, and others from Big Closet authors).
