Thanks Amazon
I’ve always been a big fan of the Amazon Kindle. It’s brought reading back to me. So when I got a crack in my screen on my original kindle they wouldn’t do anything about it. I still have the box sitting right here ready to be shipped back. So since they wouldn’t take it the Kindle 2 came out and I bought one and was once again book nerd happy. Then, that kindle’s screen cracked. I called Amazon and they said they couldn’t do anything with it because I dropped the kindle which was true, but it was in it’s cushy case. I mean, how fragile are these things?
I was so mad that I just threw my kindle 2 in the garbage since nothing showed up on the screen. For reading purposes, that’s a pretty important thing.
I started hearing about this $5M class action lawsuit against Amazon for the very same problem as what happened with both of my kindles. My first thought was .. shit … I threw that damn kindle away. I decided to call Amazon again to see what they could do. At first I was told there was nothing they could do if I didn’t have the device to send back. I told this man on the phone, look how many Kindles I’ve purchased and other things. I’m a very loyal customer to Amazon and well, I used to spend a lot of money there (now that I’m laid off, no more spending on fun loving gadgets). Anyway, he Amazin guy on the phone asked me to hold on a sec and he would talk to his supervisor. It wasn’t but a few minutes that he was back on the phone telling me that they would be sending me out a brand new Kindle 2 at no charge and without returning the other one since it’s in some land dump somewhere.
I was so excited I was thinking him over and over and embarrassing him because you can only say your welcome so much. It should be here first thing tomorrow morning. Finally, I’ll have a kindle again.
Here that Sissy, I’m getting my Kindle back! I can read again
