They used to bring orders to my door. Then they would text me when an order was delivered, then they would email me when an order was delivered. But those last two were delivered to the lobby, not to me, and many in my building had orders stolen. They didn’t even bother to buzz and put the order inside the security door. Nope. Dumped in the outer lobby open to the street with no immediate notice. Then they stopped even emailing me, but that has started up again.

The other thing. Why oh why did they stop making kindle keyboards? My oldest one died, and the other one is about to, so I bought an Oasis because it has side buttons. Upside down from how they should be, but still. You still have to use the touchscreen, but not to turn each page. BUT, and this is the kicker, it shows every single item in your archive. Every single item. The keyboard has an archive, but you have to select it on purpose. Otherwise, it just shows what you have put on it to read right now. So how do you find what you are trying to read in an archive of thousands. Well, go to ‘manage your content and devices’ on the laptop, and select ‘documents’ and you can delete them. 25 at a time, with four clicks needed for every page of 25. There is no bulk delete. I am deleting several pages every time I get on the laptop, but I still have thousands to go. Definitely unchecking that ‘add to archive’ button from here on out. Just never really thought about it before, because it was not a problem.

I hate touch screens. And I just don’t understand how making things more difficult and inconvenient for users is ‘new and improving’. Delivery used to be great, kindle used to be fantastic, but noooo, let’s make it better. Better for who, I ask you? Not for the user. If I could dump Amazon, I would in a second, but I really cannot shop for myself and even then, you can no longer even find a lot of things locally. They are buying up everything, too, and how is that going to work when there is no competition? They will be able to charge anything they like and we will have no recourse. Humans are seriously not the sharpest tacks in the box. /end rant.
