Honestly. There was a certain amount of sense to the first person's argument that "they can't ALL be that way!" I was just so pissed off at losing my data that I'd already decided never to trust Kindle again, y'know? But plenty of people love their Kindle, so there was a good chance the secnd one would be fine.

Why do I get the feeling that if I hadn't started off with "I already exchanged this once...." Jane would have told me I could only do an exchange?

The new kindles are defective? ): Now that they're finally CHEAP I was hoping to buy one.

When I was googling the problem, I saw that they JUST came out with a new one, which would have been after this purchase. But they look the same to me? Still, even if it's just a firmware upgrade or something, maybe the bug got fixed.

I say bug, but what I really mean is that I was making the whole problem up to cheat Tarjay, so you should be fine!

Hahaha. xD Well, I'd probably just order it through Amazon anyways, so at least I wouldn't have to deal with the Target staff if it did defect.

It's an e-book reader.

Same - I've had mine since last May. It did crash, I called Amazon, they sent me another one, and it's worked fine since. My fiance has had his since December, with no problems.

I've noticed that the models they have out to look at for the various E-readers tend to get screwy rather quickly.

That's partly why I was willing to do an exchange the first time; if this was a huge widespread issue, I'd have seen it when I researched, right?

It's technically possible that it's something on my end, something about my computer that's incompatible, but either way I didn't want to be stuck with something so finicky.

Since they open with that tear strip, it'd have to be that Jane slammed, Amazon received return, then repackaged as new. Who knows with them.

4 times, I've spent $150+ on electronics at Target. 4 times, I've had to return those electronics for something major wrong. Had to take back 2 PS3s. I won't buy electronics there anymore.

Did you have trouble returning them with them or something?

I can hardly blame Target for the manufacturers sending them defective equipment. Target should obviously exchange or return them, but they didn't cause them to be defective.

3 times, they were probably damaged during loading/unloading. Whether that's Target's fault or a shipping company, I don't know. There were stickers over the holes in the boxes. 1 was a portable DVD player which had quite obviously been used for some time (fingerprints, unknown goo, broken screen) and returned. Very much Target's fault for either not checking it before restocking it or checking it and not caring.

In that case I do agree with you :)
