Is a Kindle usable without an Amazon account ?
I believe there are legal (non-pirate) ways to buy these, but I've really no idea how good the vendors are or how wide the catalogues are.
These are two options for who Michael Murphy is:
The worst part is the blatant arrogance of Mr. Michael Murphy, who does not at all consider the possibility of it all being a misunderstanding or some error on Amazon's behalf, and giving the customer no option to rectify the issue.

This is why you should use a DRM removal tool and use a third party e-book reader on an Android tablet.
What's wrong with a drm removal tool and iBooks?
Because it appears to be Amazon UK dealing with the account holder I'd be interested to know if she would get anywhere by submitting a Subject Information Request [1].
Under the Data Protection Act 1998 an individual can submit a request for personal information held by an organization and they must comply within 40 days.
Whether she would get the information she is interested in, i.e. which account she is linked to, is another question.

I'd like to retain ability to send documents from my computer to my Kindle over the internet.

I don't think posting his personal details on the Internet is a very good idea.
this is a risk for publishers and loss-leaders (like amazon) alike.
First, it's important to note that we don't have very much information yet. Given what I've read so far, I assume stupidity on the part of Amazon. Before everyone starts hating on Amazon specifically, remember that this same thing would happen with Apple, Xbox Live, or Barnes & Noble accounts. It's not that all these companies want to have DRM. It's the content owners who dictate the terms of licensing.
