More craptastic Kindle service from Amazon / resolved

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Just when you thought the issue was dead and buried, the less than stellar group in charge of Kindle support manages to make a mess all over again.  Seems that they are claiming they never received the damaged Kindle.  Unfortunately for them, I kept the UPS tracking number for both kindles I returned to them, and can verify that they indeed were successfully delivered.  Jeff Bezos, your staff is really making me regret my latest Kindle purchase.  Starting to think a Nook looks sexy, even with it’s silly touch screen.

UPDATE:  I dug up the UPS tracking numbers, which thankfully still work a month after the package got there, and they relented.  for now.  They seem dead set on making me regret convincing my family to go digital with me.

don’t buy a kindle

I used to be a strong evangelist for the kindle, but now I’m an anti-evangelist.  do NOT buy a kindle until Jeff Bezos gets his programmers to stop being lazy, and implement wishlist support.  

I wouldn’t be half as pissed if they’d been honest about the reasons for the limitations, instead of blaming the failure of their programming team on some mystical god-of-just-can’t-happen.  As I said in my last email to them, it’s more than a bit disingenuous to keep using the word “can’t” in your excuses.  The correct word is “won’t”.
