I've the same issue but I can still download free ebooks... Meaning they haven't blocked my account. But I'm accessing via a VPN. I don't know if it will work without VPN. Hope kiawen can confirm again how is he doing his purchasing.

I'm using stringfellow's method but with VPN because the first time I did it, somehow amazon could detect even though I used gift card!

I'm not sure if they can detect when I use my iPad to download the books... Hope someone can clear the air here.

seems like they not only detected my kindle purchase, they blocked me out of the amazon Android app store as well... bloody hell! no email warnings or anything of that sort... just plain "purchase error" on my android phone.

trying to see if i can still download books.

anyone knows if i bought books on one account, and if i change accounts, can i download the books to my kindle first, then switch accounts, and will the books still be there?

update: the free ebooks still go through... i'm abit hesitant to buy new books since they might lock me out anytime... but the amazon app store still doesn't work... maybe i should create a 2nd app store account and keep it separate from my ebooks account

I updated my ebooks amazon account, and all free ebooks seem to be able to go through. I haven't downloaded on my ipad yet... will try soon

i created another account for amazon app store only since that has been blocked for my ebooks account due to geographical restrictions... i really don't understand why it works that way. I'm willing to change my app store account as they are all free apps anyway but my ebooks account has got paid books which i paid quite alot of money for...

i really don't understand why is it so difficult to get books which we are willing to pay for!
