    BB sent UK version of Kindle

    My beef is with BB, not Kindle. Bought a Kindle from BB online in September for Christmas gift. When opened on Christmas day, found out it was a UK version. BB Chat was no help. All I wanted was to exchange it for a US version. BB Chat said to take it to a BB store and take it up with them. I didn't think I had to argue with BB to exchange a UK product they sent me for a US product. There was no option on the BB site to choose a UK version or US version. Also, the Kindle does not have a way to select US on the Kindle. BB has a LOT of my money. Used them for kitchen remodel'S and house stereo systems.

      Hi NormL,

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition purchase experience. We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've encountered with receiving a UK version instead of a US version of the Kindle.

      We completely understand your disappointment - this was meant to be a Christmas gift, and discovering the issue on Christmas Day must have been especially frustrating. You're absolutely right that you shouldn't have to argue to exchange a product that wasn't what you ordered, particularly when there was no option to select a regional version during purchase.

      While we appreciate that your concern is primarily with Best Buy's fulfillment and customer service, we want to acknowledge how this has impacted your gift-giving experience. The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition in Metallic Jade is a beautiful device, and we're sorry that the regional version issue has overshadowed what should have been an exciting gift.

      For the Kindle itself: If you're able to exchange it for a US version, the device should work seamlessly. However, we understand if the experience with Best Buy's customer service has made this more difficult than it should be.

      Regarding the exchange: We encourage you to persist with Best Buy, given your long-standing relationship with them for major purchases like your kitchen remodels and house stereo systems. You may want to try contacting Best Buy through a different channel (phone support or speaking with a store manager directly) if the chat support wasn't helpful.

      We truly appreciate your loyalty as a customer who has invested significantly with Best Buy over the years, and we hope this situation can be resolved quickly so you can enjoy your Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition as intended. AmazonDevices

    My daughter has a hard time reading. So I purchased this kindle because they said this is one that will read to her and highlight the words as it reads. No one can show me how this works or get it hooked up to work. I have taken it back to Best Buy twice and no one has been able to get it to work

      Hello MelissaK! I thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your Kindle experience. The feature you are referring to requires a Bluetooth headset to connect to your device for the screen reader option to work as the device itself does not have any physical speaker. You can find screen reading options under Accessibility or under the Menu icon when inside the book you are trying to read. You are also able to use audio book options in this way through Audible where you can read along with a book while it is professionally narrated. This option may require a purchase of both the Kindle and Audible version of some books or can sometimes be coupled with a Kindle Unlimited and Audible subscription service. If you have any difficulty trying to access these features, I would recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support directly at 888.280.4331 for further assistance. I hope these tips help to improve the experience you are having and alleviates some of your frustration. Thanks again for your time and feedback and I hope you have a great day! AmazonDevices

    First of all, the workers were great and solved all my issues and return perfectly. As for the product…after a day or two it was so yellow it gave me a headache. And it was 0 in warmth. I had to return it. I was sad, because it was definitely faster and smoother than my 2021, but if i cant read it, it doesn’t matter.

    I love this Kindle!

    I find this Kindle very user friendly. Charge last long, and it is easier on the eyes than when U read in my IPad. Holding up the Kindle, Signature Edition, is no problem. It is light weight and causes no strain on the hand. I can turn the pages of the book with either my left hand or right (which makes it fery convenient). Reading at night is my favorite pastime. The Kindle makes reading an absolute pkeasure.

    I so love it, its way faster than the Paperwhite 2021. The screen is sharper and definitely was worth the extra money for the auto screen brightness adjustment BUT, this is my second, the first one, in the top right corner, the letters were more blurry, so check for defects like that...
