I was bitten by this. While staying in the US I setup an Amazon account in 2010, and ordered a Kindle2 with 3G connectivity. It was fantastic! I could purchase books anywhere in the world - no WiFi! At some point however the renewal of my US credit card did not get delivered to my Australian address and I kind of forgot about it for a while. Last month I sorted out my credit card issues and went to buy a book, but could not - my Amazon account was locked. Support staff refused to fix it, apparently if you haven't logged in for over a year then they won't send you a password reset (I still control the associated email address!). The only option they presented to me was re-creating the account with the same email address. I lost all of my books and all of my wishlists :(
