Were they helpful?

(**important**)Were they easy to understand when they speak?

Amazon's Kindle support people are extremely helpful over the phone. I've spoken to them many times over the years.

Me too. I haven't needed to speak with them more than a couple of times, but when I have, they are invariabely helpful.

I also like the fact that you can request them to phone you, rather than you having to phone them. That can save a lot of money on a transatlantic call.

Yes, Amazon's customer service department is one of the best I've interacted with. This is something B&N really needs to work on. I actually bought a nook first, but after a REALLY bad experience with them, I decided to go with a kindle instead(even though I really wanted library access). I'm so glad I went with the kindle because I actually like the design better, and now I have library access...ahhh, all is right with the world.

to all of the above! I have spoken to them at least 3 times, and they were very helpful, polite, quick, knowledgeable, non-accusatory, articulate, and even friendly.

I also love that when you request to speak to them on the phone, you can choose the time to be contacted. It came in very handy when I was checking on an exchange and needed a few extra minutes to find my first Kindle's serial number.

Yes, yes and yes. Plus they actually called me back to make sure the issue was resolved.

1. Yes. 2. Absolutely. 3. As long as you ask the right questions, yes (something I've had to muddle with a time or two, but that's my fault).

Yes. Make sure you call kindle support, not amazon support.

The ones I've spoken to appear to be based in the U.S (where I am). As opposed to India or wherever.

They were extremely helpful the couple of times my son has called them. I can't speak personally as to their clarity of speech.

I've used kindle support. Had them call me, in the middle of the night, and they were very helpful. I had no problems understanding them, and they gave very clear directions of what to expect regarding what they would do, and what I needed to do in return. I was impressed.
