And how did you know a fixed version was available when you got them?

It would be nice if they did inform you. They have your contact info, but apparently don't have the infrastructure in place to track fixes and send a note to the original reporter.

This is what happened with The Front (I waited about a week I think and re-downloaded it):

2. If you are not already on the Home screen, press the Home key.
3. Select "Content Manager" from the Home screen menu.
4. Select "Show and Sort" at the top of the screen and choose "Show All" from the menu.
4. Use the select wheel to choose items from the list. Items located in Your Media Library will display an "Amazon" icon below the title.
5. Choose "Move to Kindle Memory" from the Content Manager menu.

And the 2nd book (I had to check my buy history and it looks like I just re-downloaded this one as well):

Hello from Amazon.com.

Thank you for writing to us about the difficulty you had recently reading "iPod & iTunes For Dummies" on your Kindle. I've looked at the item myself, and it appears that there is a problem with that file. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Since there is a problem with this title, I've requested that it be corrected as soon as possible. If you are still interested in a corrected copy of this title, you may wish to visit the Kindle store again at a later time and see if a corrected version is available.

If you are not interested in keeping the book in its current condition, you can return any item purchased from the Kindle Store within seven days of purchase.

Thank you for choosing Kindle.
I reported a problem recently with Let the Right One In, in that case I was given a refund, the book was removed by Amazon from my Manage Your Kindle Page and my Kindle. I purchased another version of it with the refund (different version than the original).

Hello,

Thanks for writing to us with your concern.

I’m sorry there's a problem with "Let the Right One In" by Lindqvist, John Ajvide. I've issued a full refund in the amount of $9.99. The refund will be applied to the payment method used for the original purchase and should be completed within the next 2 to 3 business days. Issuing a refund also removes all access to the title.

Please note that, I've informed about the locations in Kindle content book which you purchased also requested that this title be corrected as soon as possible. If you are still interested in purchasing a working copy, please visit the Kindle store again at a later time and see if a corrected version is available.

We look forward seeing you again soon.Thanks for using Kindle.

Please let us know if this e-mail resolved your question:
