Changes to the Amazon Cloud cloud sharing affected customers on Thursday backfire with Kindle readers. Analyzing the performance characteristics (and non) service Send to Kindle and messages on the website of Amazon wysnuliśmy conclusion that can no longer be free to send MOBI files on the Kindle reader. This state of affairs continued for nearly two days, but it fortunately changed.
The problems we reported on the Spider’s Web immediately after the as we have seen a change in behavior Send to Kindle for several different readers. Simultaneously with the announcement of the introduction of paid Cloud Drive plans for clients registered in the US version of the store, a large proportion of users assigned to the reader stopped working amazon.com Send to Kindle feature.
Sending MOBI was not possible.
My Thursday’s article on the date and time of publication was consistent with the facts: the inclusion of paid plans by Amazon Cloud Drive resulted disable sending free MOBI files to readers within the Send to Kindle. They were not at the individual cases. This was in contradiction to earlier information about the service sending content over the air, which should be independent.
The problem is that the Send to Kindle … did not work. Fortunately, it did not work I scratched black scenario. Amazon consultants argued that the lack of ability to send files to Kindle readers was a failure. When implementing new plans, some customers could not send new files, plus the messages on Cloud Drive suggested that it is necessary to switch to a pay plan “to resume synchronization” – which, after all a service Send to Kindle impact should not be.
The failure was puzzling.
It is worth mentioning here that the failure was very unusual. Amazonowi not got out of the service altogether Send to Kindle, because activation of the test period of paid service plan Kindle magically restored the full functionality of the service. For me it was a clear signal that it can no longer be shipped without a paid plan.
I was not the only one who enunciated a similar conclusion based on Amazon’s actions. The next day, I monitored the Polish and English pages, forums, blogs, and Amazon’s support page and Twitter. On the issue of sending files, which solved until the transition to a paid option Test Cloud Drive, stumbled across a lot of people.
Amazon in less than two days, solved the problem and restore the full functionality of the service.
Information about the change made by Amazon emerged yesterday, but it was only this morning I had a chance to check it at home. Shipping to the reader without activated new cloud actually is again possible – only sent on Thursday and Friday Materials “flew in the cloud.”
Files sent today already reach the reader and do not even distinguish the Send to Kindle archiving in the cloud. The help page and note appeared: “Kindle Personal Docs will no longer count against your Cloud Drive storage limits.” which were not previously seen.
This means that not separated Send to Kindle service from Cloud Drive.
Plans changed to paid and at first Cloud Drive does not accept new files that do not end well for the Send to Kindle. Only after nearly two days of Amazon introduced an update that began pass files to the reader and archive them, despite exceeding the free space. Of course, it is very possible that such a plan was from the beginning. It could just be an unfortunate setback.
A very unusual problems with Send to Kindle occurred at the worst possible moment, that is the Prime Minister of a new, very interesting indeed, clouds. Send to Kindle service did not work, as long as you are not tempted to test a period of paid service. I do not recognize at the same time as unrealistic scenario in which “failure” Send to Kindle was not the case, and an attempt to draw attention to the new Cloud Drive service plans – which by the way can be considered attractive.
I would like to believe, that was not the case, and it was all just a mistake. This of course could well be a cheap trick to attract new customers, which, moreover, gave a concert I was caught. However, as this was not the fact remains that for two days users – or at least their part – they did not have the ability to send materials, and the only way to start the service plan was to move to a surcharge. It is, however, of little importance today.
The bottom line is that after nearly two days of service Send to Kindle returned to its original state and is to be hoped that it will never be.
