I really do love their products, but the Paperwhite they built up so much that of course even with their good product it isn't what they advertised.
Still I am lucky to have a good unit. I will hold on to this unit for a few years. Money doesn't grow on my trees  |
Note that I didn't claim to know anything about shutting down production. It is just 'as if' they had. Maybe it is just that they are diverting supply to other markets (Europe, Japan). But it seems odd that you can't get a PW from Amazon before Christmas in Amazon's primary market, the USA. They are losing sales that will never come their way again (unless it is part of some plan to sell more Kindle Fires). I'm sure the reasons are more complicated than I can imagine however.
