I have spent over a thousand dollars on Kindle books, but now my Kindle has become flaky and recently completely flushed its contents. Since then I've been able to download a few titles, but other titles just seem to be impossible to reload onto the machine. So my "investment" in kindle books seems more like a rental; I only get to read them if I buy a new Kindle.
By contrast paper books I bought still exist and can still be read.
Kindle customer support? Yes, try to actually get any for an issue like this. It is a web-site runaround.
In summary, the Kindle is a nice idea but I regret having bought it and I regret having bought any content for it.
