Looks like they're having an "unplanned event". Sounds like fun...

Come now Pshrynk. Don't you recall the excellent newsworthy events I inspired with the folk over on the "other" site? Were you around my first day when I caused a rebellion by doing nothing with the "others" and they followed me over into "our" room?

Oh, the glories of a centralized approach---with so much of the U.S. book industry relying more and more on one company! Actually, as I've just written, there's the inevitable DRM/eBabel angle. We all fondly remember the Mobi excitement. ;-) - David

Nomad must be processing the sterilize-imperfection thing again and is heading for that core melt down.

BTW, for me as of the time of this post most of Amazon is working for me but search is not yet working.

Looks like a misconfiguration then. Here is what the AP says:

Quote:
Shawn White, Keynote's director of external operations, says an error in the configuration of the Web site might have caused the shut down.

White says another reason might have been be server overload, but he says Amazon has a history of being able to handle large loads of visitors.

Calls to Amazon.com were not immediately returned.

White says the Web site was back up to 60 percent capability around noon.

Interesting. IMDB is also down, they are hardly ever down. Coincidence or not? Amazon was down for me and then up a few minutes later. Odd.

Sorry folks, it was my fault. I have put a curse on Amazon for not launching the Kindle in the UK. I'm afraid they are doomed.
