Anybody else hear that?

If the Kindle is a Wifi only and the radio (wifi) is off there is no possible way for Amazon to turn the radio on. It just can't be done the radio has to be on for Amazon to do anything to the device. The 3 users in Mexico would have had to have the device's radio on for anything to occur. I'll spare the lecture to the OP

I wanna know how she got her hands on a Kindle 4.

HarryT · 12-21-2010, 12:35 PM

The original poster is an obvious troll. I suggest that we stop feeding her and move on.

I think she means she ordered a Kindle - three weeks ago. It's a rather unpleasant post to read so you likely blocked most of it out.

Before clicking on this thread I was wondering how on earth a person could get banned from Amazon.

This woman thinks that Amazon "made a mistake", but that is just how they do business. They always post the refund and trust the customer to send back the item.

I'm sure they will just blacklist the Kindle if they can't charge her credit card, but I would love to see them send the Police to arrest her for theft.

Did Amazon request that the Kindle be returned? How do we know that they made a mistake? I don't think it's so inconceivable that they shrugged off the loss just be done with the ordeal and avoid displeasing a potentially long term customer.

Personally I would have informed them and asked if that was their intent. But deciding not to second guess their actions doesn't quite warrant the OP being considered some kind of villain. Granted it may be a troll, but even hypothetically..

Maybe register it and see what happens. If they say "Hey, you ain't supposed to have that", send it back.

When I called to inquire about my freezing issue regarding the case, they issued a refund, told me I could return it to them if I felt like it (I did), and gave me a $30 credit on top of it, "for your trouble." Sure, a cover isn't a Kindle, but that kind of service isn't unheard of.

Holly

"hypothetical", she admitted to downloading books using torrent sites, why are we surprised she is also trying to steal a kindle??

PG4003 · 12-21-2010, 06:59 PM

The OP not only wants to dishonestly keep the Kindle, then later in the thread she talks about downloading torrent ebooks, which is, umm, stealing.

OtterBooks · 12-21-2010, 07:17 PM

OP is a scoundrel of the most wretched kind for not contacting Amazon about that package they shipped her. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go read the fourteen page thread on drm stripping.

pchrist7 · 12-22-2010, 01:12 PM

Honesty ?
Cheating ?
OP: Please .... get real - what kind of live do you want to live ?
Merry Xmas any ways. Hope you reconsider !
