It appears to be like like all of the random bugs and issues individuals have been experiencing with their Kindles these days because the final software program replace has leaked into different components of the Kindle ecosystem.
I seen some bizarre issues happening with Kindle listings on Amazon’s web site right this moment. Chief amongst them is Amazon now charging $500 for the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Version, and it’s not even new—it’s refurbished.
Blue and inexperienced ones are priced usually, however you’d must be whacked out of your gourd to purchase the black model of the refurbished Kindle Paperwhite Signature Version proper now. And it’s not even some unscrupulous third-party vendor that’s doing it; the itemizing says it’s shipped and offered by Amazon.
The strangeness doesn’t finish there. A number of older Kindle fashions are presently listed as “Quickly out of inventory”, however they are often ordered, and the listings say, “Order now and we’ll ship when accessible.”
This consists of the Kindle Voyage, the Kindle Oasis (the primary and third gen fashions) and even the Kindle Paperwhite 2 and Kindle 5 from a few years in the past, amongst others. There’s additionally a Kindle Contact listed with an image of pink earbuds for some motive.
There should be some glitch within the system as a result of there’s no manner Amazon goes to start out promoting all these fashions in new situation once more. A few of them have been “quickly out of inventory” for a number of years now.
However wouldn’t it’s humorous if Amazon determined to re-release older Kindles as a substitute of releasing new fashions for 2024. I do know some individuals can be proud of that, particularly since Amazon dropped the Kindle Oasis and Kindle Voyage with out changing them with newer variations. Heck, I’d be prepared to purchase a brand new Kindle Voyage for $219 with out adverts, because the itemizing presently states. And the good thing about getting an older Kindle is that they received’t be affected by all of the bugs that Amazon launched with the newer software program. 😀
