Even more Kindle minutiae
There are two phone numbers in the Kindle manual PDF. They are both currently functional, and lead to the same customer service line of a company called something like ?Theona Beta?.
Has anyone called them? Did the phone numbers work last year? How long have the numbers been functional? |

Let me clarify: The numbers are not listed in any phone book. I called both, and listened to the intro message.

Nate, could you repost the numbers here? I haven't had the chance yet to dig through the leaked Kindle manual.

I love you guys around here. A bit sneaky but down to earth and just damned curious - in more ways than one!

OMG...
The numbers in the current manual are the same as in the old one. I just realized that the phone numbers have been functional since at least the end of October, and the company name I heard wasn't "Theona Beta" but "Fiona beta". We now know that Fiona was their codeword for the Kindle. I am so kicking myself for not having the guts to follow through on this. |
