I cannot even get signed in - why do you deny all 5 of my e-mail addys?

Question

I  have tried all five of my e-mail addresses and you tell me they are all already in use.   That is simply not possible.   I had ADE on my previous computer but it crashed and now you will not let me re-install it.    I use the e-mail address and password I had previously; you say it is already in use.   So I try FOUR other ones, at least two of which you could not possibly have even see and you say it is already in use.   Please.   I did try just not authorizing it but when I tried to add a book I just borrowed from the  library, I got that nasty error message saying it could not be done.   So now what do I do?    How am I to put new books onto my reader?
