    Lazy to assist a client or even tie her shoelaces

    I really love my new Kindle and its cover! Everything about them is perfect! However, the purchase process was quite complicated and strange. I had already decided to buy the Kindle and cover, so I went to a desk to ask a staff member for assistance. When I arrived, I found one staff member tying another staff member’s shoelaces, a lady sitting on a stool, as I later realized, was too lazy to stand up and assist me or anyone else. This person asked another assistant to bring the Kindle and the cover. When I pointed out that the cover had a 20% discount, she claimed that the discount wasn’t showing in the system. I insisted, but she kept repeating the same thing without checking the price tag. She was reluctant to stand up and verify the price where the covers were displayed. Finally, she said, “That’s the final price. Do you want it or not?” At that point, I chose not to argue further. She was not only lazy but incompetent, rude, and intolerant . However, as I always try to be respectful and kind to others, I decided to end the discussion and pay the price she stated. So injust!

    Worst Experience in retail

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This was the worst experience I have had in retail. I bought a kindle to pickup in store on Feb 14th. When I went to pick it up the staff said they do not have it and wont for another 7 days. This was a gift for valentines day. As i attempt to figure out what to do i looked for the kindle in a different color and the manager offered me a more expensive one that was not the color I requested and said I have to pay the difference. I asked for a discount to help offset the terrible experience. I said no and asked them to look again for the same kindle in a different color. Eventually they found on but was not willing to exchange it for the green one I had ordered and said I would have to pay for it again. -terrible customer service -pickup dates were wrong -no in stock availability -managers did not care at all. If it wasn't for the urgency of what I needed, I would've walked out and never stepping back in a wrongful business.

    Thank goodness I bought a protection plan. I had for about two weeks and it froze up. Brought it in and the geek squad threw it in the waste basket.

      Hello VeronicaW,
      I am sorry to hear your Kindle's audio was not working for you. Modern Kindle e-readers, do not have a built-in speaker or a traditional headphone jack for audio output. This means you must use a Bluetooth-enabled device like headphones or speakers to listen to audiobooks or use the text-to-speech feature. I hope this helps explain the device a little more, have a nice day! AmazonDevices

    The battery is not what was expected. It doesn’t last very long. If I still had the package I would have returned it.

      Hello JenniferM! I understand you are having battery issues with your Kindle device. In the first few days as you download books and install updates, the battery drains. Please keep your Kindle charging during this time if you can. After set up, use our tips to conserve battery power: 1. Lower your device's light settings: Devices with a built-in light use more battery. 2. Turn off your device's internet connection when not in use. 3. Make sure to use a compatible USB cable to charge your Kindle (preferably the one that came with it). 4. Put your device to sleep when done reading. Press the power button once briefly. 5. Keep your device charging during large downloads. 6. Turn on Power saver in the Device options. The device enters in a low-power sleep mode when it hasn't been used for a few hours. 7. Keep your device charging for a period of time after large downloads. After downloading, your Kindle indexes your books to provide search capability, but it affects battery life. Note: Your Kindle automatically updates when it's not in use, affecting battery life. If you are still running into battery issues after performing these steps, please contact Amazon customer service for further troubleshooting. They can be reached at 1-888-280-4331. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you! AmazonDevices

    I returned this but it does feel good in your hands. I just wanted something that did a little bit more so I went with the Amazon Fire. I also like the 8” screen.
