Sorry for the inconvenience.
We just went through a little turbulence there,
but we are still on schedule to land at 8:30PM.
Your attendants will be offering ice tea at
half price with a free package of banana chips.

Remember fly with Amazon. We appreciate
the business.

Yesterday Amazon was briefly down entirely. I tried "Down for Everyone or Just Me" and it said down for everyone.

I believe that site checks through multiple nodes to confirm if a site is down.

Well THAT freaked me out.

I had uploaded a book last night, it passed review this morning, at lunchtime I got the "Congratulations, your book has been published!" email, clicked the link, and was told it wasn't available for sale in the United States...

...cue freak-out

Now my internet grocer is down! Can I blame that on Harry Potter too? Not being able to buy ebooks is one thing, but I might actually STARVE over here!

Pizza!
I check into an inexpensive motel alone in a strange place or in bad weather, and want to eat something besides the machine food and just order in Pizza.

Then I can work or write depending on how far I am behind.

I'm getting this for ONE of my books in the US store (but it's available in .de, .fr, etc.)

Looking for something?

I thought they'd fixed it - I downloaded a book to my Kindle in Launceston about 6.45pm Australian EST.

They did. But my problem was something else. Unfortunately it took three cracks at Amazon customer support before they fixed my disappearing book. They insisted on telling me the problem was fixed. It was fixed. But that problem wasn't my problem.

Back in the store, but momentum lost. Ah well, back to it.

Thanks, Tony. Did they give any reason for either set of problems?
