Amazon having computer trouble??

crich70 · 01-02-2014, 01:01 PM

Anyone else having trouble with Amazon today? I went to buy a book listed in "Author's Promotions" this afternoon and had to try a couple times before the purchase went through. Then I had trouble checking that my new book was in my Kindle purchases. I did finally get the book and it did show up, but normally such problems don't come up. It has me puzzled.

Nope, Had no such problems here.

Odd. Well maybe it was my computer or maybe a node between them and me was out of sorts. Who knows. It was strange to have that problem though. Usually when I buy a book from Amazon it goes through with no problem at all. And then it shows up in my kindle collection with no problem. Thanks for the feedback Alan.

I had no problems... Try rebooting your computer...

I was getting weird search results about then (I didn't try buying anything). It seemed to clear up fairly quickly.

Had the same thing happen with a App

I had problems too, both on the PC and on my devices. It's fine now, though.

Good to see I'm not the only one who had it happen. I haven't the faintest idea what caused it, but I hope it won't happen again.

Yes. It has cleared since I had that problem on the 2nd. My online Kindle books weren't even showing up right for a bit that day. Guess the gremlins were looking for trouble to cause at Amazon that afternoon.
