Why is it now so (ridiculously) easy to permanently delete books, but still totally impossible to delete or even remove old newspaper subscriptions?
I just cancelled my resubscription to the Washington Post because the old issues kept overwriting the new issues! They recently updated their app to include access to the website - great, I thought, it actually works. I got into the website, but the only way I could manage to eventually get the new editions onto my kindle was by attaching it to my computer and manually deleting the old issues.
Fine, I thought, that's ok, at least I can now access the new issues (note that they seem to be a slightly different format, even though they use the same app [I know it's not really an app on the e-reader, more like a container, but I'm calling it that for simplicity's sake]).
But then, today, arrgggh, all the old issues I had from April came back. When I download the new issue, it immediately disappeared. Now, thanks to what I did last week (amazon CS could not help - I'm not surprised as it is a v complex and confusing issue), I know that I could solve this temporarily by plugging my kindle in and manually deleting the issues from April. But I'm not prepared to live with this fudging of what should be a very straightforward process.
Anyway, if you have EVER subscribed to the Washington Post before, be aware that this will happen to you, and you will not receive your new issues unless you delete the old issues while your kindle is plugged into your computer. And be aware too that this work around will not stick. BAH.
Probably a good thing in some ways, as there's only so much politics one can take.
