Could have been all kinds of unlikely things I suppose. In rough ranking, a cat, Amazon, a hacker, random gamma ray, deity with an axe to grind..

not sure if it will be permanent, but now, with wifi not available at all, I cannot turn off recommendations and a lot of other settings are missing/not available. a lot. so I may set it up again, but really starting to want to return it in favor of another model or brand that doesn't hobble it's devices for want of wifi registration.
now when I hit home instead of going to my list of books I am sent to the recommendations page and I start gritting my teeth.
