Manually deleting an app from my kindle fire

CA — Fri, 25 May 2012 21:10:25 GMT

I deleted an app through my account but it's still in My Apps on the kindle. I researched and it says I have to manually delete. Where in the world do I do that? I've looked all over.Thanks!

Breach of Contract

Robert D. Walker — Fri, 25 May 2012 21:08:52 GMT

I was just texting with Mark Lester in problem chat. My problem was I was no longer the WSJ on my Kindle Fire. I have a KF to use at home and a Kindle ink/4 to use when traveling. The KF has glare which makes the screen unreadable in the car. The K4 does not and is lighter and has a longer battery life when traveling. I have been using both interchangeably. Mark informed me that I can no longer have both registered to WSJ. This was not part of the agreement when I subscribed to WSJ. I consider it a breech of contract. I was OK with the rules regarding book loaning and ownership but this last problem is an insult to me and makes me seriously doubt the value of my Kindle purchases. The Library is paid for by my taxes and my friends can exchange books with me. It appears to me that Amazon is destroying their customer loyalty.

Second Kindle Touch on my account

Sindi — Fri, 25 May 2012 20:00:48 GMT

I bought my mother a Kindle Touch under my account. Her Kindle does not have a screen on which to change the time on her Kindle. Mine does, of course. Also, I do not understand 'sync'. When I go to a WI-FI place to download her books that are in my account, how do I download them? I thought they would just automatically appear on her Kindle if I designated a book to go there while in 'Manage My Kindle'. Because I am somewhat electronically challenged, I cannot figure this out. I know how it SHOULD work, but that's probably wishful thinking. Help!

I want to use my Kindle for Library2Go

Nancy Drake — Fri, 25 May 2012 19:26:35 GMT

I had a Sony eReader which was user friendly. It was cheaper than the Kindle I bought (not the Kindle Fire) and worked perfectly for this until it froze up permanently 5 months after the warranty ran out. I did successfully download one book to the Kindle from Library2Go (my public library) but now I have downloaded another book, and can't get it into the Kindle. Any suggestions?

How do I know which Kindle model I have?

Nancy Drake — Fri, 25 May 2012 19:24:02 GMT

How do I figure out which Kindle Model I have -- are those numbers on the receipt in the box the serial or model number? There is nothing on my Kindle that indicates the serial number. It's not a Kindle Fire. It has a 6" screen, no advertisements.

Which Kindle?

A. Robertshaw — Fri, 25 May 2012 19:18:47 GMT

I want to purchase a kindle. E-ink only. I would like it to have text to speech capability if possible, but not necessary. Most importantly, I need to be sure I can use it internationally. I would love it if it were also possible to listen to audio books with the kindle... But again not imperative. Most basic form that has these options. I am dizzy with comparisons...someone just tell me which one!!

Kindle Book prices

Thank you Amazon!

Lakota29033 — Fri, 25 May 2012 16:47:22 GMT

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for making returns so simple. Not every company operates under the concept of making things easy on their customers. When I chose to get a refund on my Kindle Touch I fully expected to find it a hassle, it was anything but. Not only was I able to choose the option of having UPS pick up the package at my door (even more important since I just had minor surgery) for only a $6 charge - I never expected to be refunded my initial shipping charges!!! Imagine my surprise today when I got the email from Amazon stating my full purchase price PLUS original shipping (except for the small deduction for having UPS pick up at my door) would be fully refunded back to me!!! You guys rock. Although I wasn't completely satisfied with my Kindle device, it wasn't the product - it was my more based on my personal needs/wants - I couldn't be happier with Amazon! I'll definitely be using your site for more of my purchases and as soon as I can save enough for another eReader choice (one that will better suit my personal needs) - you're my first choice for making that purchase. Thank you again for being so customer-friendly. I wish the entire Amazon family a very happy and safe Memorial Day! God blessDeborah Sharpe

Is there a website to track an author's newest book?

bollycats — Fri, 25 May 2012 15:46:34 GMT

I saw a thread a week or 2 ago about ereaderiq.com and tracking books. Now I can't find it. I checked out the ereaderiq website, but I don't think they have what I need. Is there a website that will track when an author releases a new book? I have many series I follow and would like to also have that option. I don't always know the name of the next book which is why I would like to search by author name.

Kindle email client won't update

Ashley Mae Stark — Fri, 25 May 2012 15:01:33 GMT

The email feature on my Fire has never really worked properly. For a while there it would update in a half-hearted, spotty sort of way -- I would get some of my emails, but not all of them. Now it doesn't even try. It claims to have refreshed, but says my most recent email was from two months ago. Also I tried to add an additional email account today, and it gave me an error message saying it failed to connect. Both the account I have linked now and the one I tried to add today are gmail accounts. Any thoughts, guys? It'd be nice if I could use this feature. Ashley

Shelves for the Kindle

Stewart — Fri, 25 May 2012 14:57:26 GMT

Since nook seems to have no trouble creating "shelves" one would hope that Kindle would get that capability in the next upgrade. Maybe I am underestimating the effort required.

Price of ebooks! (No, not the same-o, same-o)

saraf — Fri, 25 May 2012 14:55:28 GMT

Nope. This is a DIFFERENT ebook pricing thread! I'm not griping! OK, this morning I was leaving my bedroom and there was my bookshelf...the one that acts as my DTB TBR pile. It's full. I had a ton of books I hadn't gotten around to reading when I got my first Kindle several years ago. They're all still there. Patiently waiting.So...I saw Gregory Maguire's Lost on the shelf... I thought it's been a while since I made a dent in that DTB TBR pile, so I'll have a go at it.Well...it has made me appreciate my Kindle even more. This is a huge trade paperback. Cost $14.95 for paperback, $12.99 for Kindle, in case anyone's keeping score, but anyhoo...the thing is unwieldy. The ceiling fan is flipping my pages. It's so big my arthritic hands are having a devil of a time hanging onto it upright enough so I can read it. When I read my Kindle (and my Nook as well, I have one of those too) the device just disappears. Gone. Poof! I am just into the book. Trying to read this big honking DTB after several years of only ebook reading is a wakeup call. The physical book with its weight, and flipping pages, and the realization I need to find something to use as a bookmark has me actually considering paying the $12.99 to get another copy. So I can read it in comfort. My Kindle has spoiled me...I love the thing. And the money it takes to feed it is well spent.So all you Kindle ebook price gripers...consider the CONVENIENCE of a Kindle book. The shelf space saved. The ease of reading an oversized volume on a Kindle as compared to the physical book. The shelf space you can put your collection of Faberge eggs on instead of books. The fact of being able to tuck hundreds of books in your purse, briefcase, suitcase...whatever. The fact you can dial up Aunt Ammy anytime and get a new book if your heart desires. 3 am in a hotel in Podunk and just finished a book in a series? No problem! Aunt Ammy will have the next book in the series to you in minutes. Even if you don't have 3G or free wireless you can probably hitch a ride on your cell phone connection.If ebook prices go down I will not complain. But if they don't...I don't feel "ripped off" or many of the other phrases we hear tossed around over and over on this forum. And while we're at it, Prime is a shipping program, people. You're lucky you even get to borrow ONE book a month on it. Stop yer bitchin'!
