Title: A great idea, a terrible implementation
Product review: Don't get me wrong, the updated kindle is much nicer to look at than the kindle 1 (which I do own), but the service behind the system leaves much to be desired. While they have finally implemented private save-for-later lists, you can not put a kindle title on your wishlist. Their suggested workaround is to tell anyone who wants to buy you a gift, to look through your list of physical books on the wishlist, note the price, buy a gift certificate for that price, and then send it to you with a note on which book you are supposed to buy. For some reason they can't 1-click that process. As you can guess, despite telling everyone this grand scheme of Mr Bezos', people bought me physical books for Christmas this year, instead of jumping through the silly hoops. Amazon should offer a trade-in program for physical books incorrectly purchased because of their deliberate crippling of the kindle.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
