Kindle PW2 social networks problem

Hello,

I have a problem with social networks on my PW2. I noticed this when I tried to share the fragment of a book. I got this message:

Quote:
Unable to retrive your social network settings. Please try again later.
facebook and tweeter icons are inactive.

And the pop up window with this message has Goodreads logo in the header.

Right now goodreads.com seems to be offline - I mean I can't access it from laptop/tablet browser.

But anyway, I tried to get into settings>>reading options>>social networks but when I do that nothing popsup, there's only this "Connected" stripe showing in the top left corner of the reader.

So I can't see screen with link or unlink from social accounts and I am not sure what is the problem.

The first thing that came to my mind was it's this latest update (5.4.5) fault. But then I also tought that, if social networks on kindle works only all together (I don't know that, I am only guessing) then when goodreads is down I won't be able to connect to any service.

Maybe it's only temporary, I don't know.

I would be greateful for any help.

Ps. I tried to reboot kindle (15 sec. on power button) but this didn't help.

Ps. Sync and browser works fine.


EDIT: Ok, now it works again. Goodreads is online and everything is fine. Seems like the problem was with what I mentioned - all social networks on kindle paperwhite 2 are somehow linked, and if we have all (goodreads, facebook and tweeter) accounts active (or more than one), then when one doesn't work others won't work too. Well, maybe not exactly like this, because I think the main network is goodreads and it manages with the others.
