 Need better web browser September 4, 2008
Twinkle (CA USA)
I love kindle, but not in its current version. My use of kindle is 50% book/magzine reading, 50% web/blog reading.
My first complain about current version of kindle is the browser: the browser is burried too deep in the menu, and it doesn't support foreign language. Would like to see browser at the top menu, and even better, having user selected bookmark shown the top level of the menu;
My second complain about kindle is the book price. I found out that some of the books I bought for kindle were more expensive than the paper version that I could buy from Amazon's book store, not to mention I could get further discount from the used book pages. I called Amazon kindle support. The explaination I got back is - book authors set the price, they cannot do anything about it!
I love its e-ink screen, very comfortable for book and magzine reading. Love its long battery life time, once per week for me. Like its free web access, even when I was on the train. Can't wait for version 2, to see if the problem has been fixed.
 Do NOT deal with Amazon.com September 4, 2008

This is not worth the hassle if needing to be returned. I returned one on the 20th of Aug as it was a win but the 2nd one I had won, making it as a "GIFT RETURN". I went thru the right steps to return it, going thru the Kindle dept and telling them it was a gift return and writing it on the label PROVIDED TO ME by Amazon.com for UPS. Sent it back, it was signed for on 8-26-08 and supposedly the gift cert is issued in 3-5 days. Well, nothing. They have put in a ticket supposedly, but I have gotten nothing but the run around from Amazon.com. I have had every excuse under the sun. Kindle's must be inspected (not an issue since it was NEVER opened), any excuse you can think of. I even call and asked for the corporate number and was refused it but I found it myself. I called and they said they were transferring me to the Cust Ser Specialist, the highest escalation, in Seattle, I was transferred to the reg cust service dept in WV. I was also guaranteed the website I won it from would not know I returned it and guess what? It appears they gave them the credit on their cc even though it had been marked as a gift return and everything done correctly on my part. I have been an Amazon.com customer for many, many years and will NEVER buy from them again. I believe the Kindle was a good idea but because of their incompetence, it is not worth the chance of getting a product that can only be handled online. I would definitely not recommend this in case you do have problems. I hope Jeff Bezos realizes he is really hurting his business with the customer service attitudes and being refused the ability to talk to a supervisor or anything and I do mean I was REFUSED the option of talking to a supervisor. This company needs to get their act together because they obviously have lost the great customer service they once had. Is it any wonder that sales had gone down at one point and that people are writing stories all over the net about the very poor customer service now? I think not. Jeff Bezos should be ashamed of how this has turned out.
