I didn't even know I was an Amazon Cloud customer. (Funny how that works.) Anyway, I have used send-to-Kindle a few times. I suppose that made me a customer.

And I didn't like the wording of the email either. Heavy-handed. Close-ended.

Now this isn't related to the Kindle Cloud Reader, is it? I've got a lot of books there.

So what happens if I do nothing? (Yeah yeah I'll (read on) have access to what is already up there in the Amazon cloud, but I'm not betting against getting a bill on my VISA that by going to the Amazon Cloud site I've signed up for the $59 package.)

And when I went to check on "my" Amazon cloud account I got to see the screen of "my" account for about a millisecond before a pop-up covered 90% of the screen, and I had to choose between one free trial or another. (When all I wanted to do was see "my" account.) Isn't that what they call a closed end question? Not good. Pushy. Strong-arming you.

I guess if you can get away with doing it, you do it. (At least some people (companies) do.)
