View Full Version : Connect Store - Offline Kenal0 10-16-2006, 04:09 PM It is because I just got my portable reader 5 minutes before the store went offline and I never finished 1984 in 6th grade!!! Now it is the only book I can read!! When is the store going to reopen. A few hours is not almost 4. Kenal0 TadW 10-16-2006, 04:13 PM We value your patronage and thank you for your patience while we update the store. The update will complete in a few short hours.

Now it is the only book I can read!! When is the store going to reopen. A few hours is not almost 4. Kenal0 1984 is a great book. Freakonomics extract is entertaining too Kenal0 10-16-2006, 05:12 PM I guess I will find out as the store is still down 4 1/2 hours later. Kenal0 Michele 10-16-2006, 07:17 PM Vast site corrections/improvements? Wishlist? Tomorrow is the date for new releases... *crosses fingers* Kenal0 10-16-2006, 07:23 PM I just want to buy a stinkin book already!!!!! It had been almost 7 hours, not a few short short hours like the message says. Kenal0 NatCh 10-16-2006, 08:08 PM I never take the time estimates on things like that literally, myself. (I'm still waiting on a product that was billed as "coming soon" in January of 2001) They must be doing something unusual, if it was just a relatively minor re-vamp, they'd have it ready to go on another server, and swap them out pretty quickly. How long it's taking, may actually be a good thing ... or someone could have stuck their foot in it. :grin2: They'll probably have it back up tomorrow, if not, there'll be plenty of time for me to get annoyed then. :smile: Mohit25 10-16-2006, 08:20 PM but why would they do a new release US daytime hours ??? and surely, they would not need to take the site down for enhancements - they could just swap to a new build on another server. Michele 10-16-2006, 08:28 PM As far as I'm concerned, they can have a week to fix it, as long as the end result is better than it has been. In the meantime, there's all of Cory Doctorow's stuff free online. ;) Peregrine 10-17-2006, 01:19 AM Connect is still down now... Bob Russell 10-17-2006, 05:34 AM It seems to be back up this morning. Patriots Club is still priced high (after its brief reduction a while back). I haven't checked for new content though. ChrisAllenFiz 10-17-2006, 05:48 AM It seems to be back up this morning. Patriots Club is still priced high (after its brief reduction a while back). I haven't checked for new content though. A quick check for new content revealed nothing. I think it was just down for technical reasons. NatCh 10-17-2006, 10:07 AM Perhaps they did some restructuring, the ebooks.connect.com/index.htm page is gone. :shrug: |
