So it's fast approaching 6 months after Amazon's release of their new kindle line. Despite almost daily rumours of immanent announcements there is still no sign of the Kindle fire or the Kindle touch in the UK. To add insult to tech geek injury the Kindle touch is now available for international shipping.....unless that is you happen to live in one of the countries "lucky" enough to have there own Amazon site. If you do live in let's say the UK for example, you will be unable to ship from amazon.com.
Amazon's reasoning seems to be that we deserve a full launch for new products, rather than it just appearing on the homepage. That seems reasonable except of course the full launch does not seem to be happening. If they are struggling to get it organised I can get a few balloons and some banners together for Monday?
There seems to be a little movement from customer service reps although maybe they just have a better script. Where as emails used to get very sharp answers about no knowledge, I received a very nice but still rather useless email apologising that they had no further information but promising that my enquiry would be passed up the chain. Let's hope so, maybe if enquires about a UK release reaches critical mass on someone's desk they may actually do something about it.
