YAY Amazon!
Thursday, November 05, 2009
I bought an Amazon Kindle in February. I use it every day. It is a VERY important part of my life.
At first I thought I would never use an e-reader, I like books- the smell of a new book & the thrill of turning each page as I read.
But, I fell for the, "You can read this book in less than one minute on Kindle." I've never regretted it & don't miss stacks of books everywhere, though I still have plenty & will donate some to the public library.
I can easily take my Kindle anywhere & order books whenever I want.
Ahhhh- instant gratification!
Last night, as I settled back to read, I noticed that the five-way controller was broken even though It is in a book cover, no one else ever uses it, it has not been abused.
I was upset, what do I do? Crazy Glue? Will I have to send it back & go without for weeks, months?!
Buy a new one?
I called this morning & Amazon is sending me a replacement & I keep the one I have until the new one arrives. All my books are archived so I can download them when I get the new one.
A disaster diverted!
Wow- great customer service.
