Kindle super slow with Send to Kindle — anyone else?

A few days ago I downloaded a study Bible with a ton of notes — the Straubinger Bible (1948) — to put on my Kindle. The file was a 4.6 MB EPUB.We all know Kindle doesn’t support EPUB natively. If you use Send to Kindle, email, or the app, Amazon’s servers convert it to a compatible format.

So I sent the book via Send to Kindle. When I opened it, it was painfully slow. At first I thought it was normal because the Kindle had to process all those notes, but I wasn’t convinced. Recently I tried Calibre to sideload files and transferred the same Straubinger Bible again. The difference was insane: opens instantly, page turns are snappy, it just flies.

I tested this again with other 300-page books with almost no notes. Same result. Send to Kindle = laggy. Calibre = super fast.

Anyone else noticed this? Is Amazon bloating the files during conversion or what?

Help me call Amazon, I’ll give you $10 gift card if it went successful

I used to work at Amazon, so I know all the loopholes. I’m currently outside US and Amazon doesn’t accept calls or chats from asian countries. If you can call them on my behalf, I’ll tell you exactly what to say. If we’re successful, I’ll give you a gift card in return. Deal?

Amazon refund

I want to buy a device that is 1500$ dollars and I don’t have the money to spend for it, if I did I wouldn’t be posting about this. If I have an old account that I made purchases on and never refunded anything, is it possible to get a refund on this with no return ? I was thinking of saying there was nothing in the box or I didn’t find my package out side.

Amazon promised delivery refund in writing, now calls it "wrong promise" after I paid 2268

TL;DR: Amazon charged ₹236 delivery on a ₹2032 order (violating their own ₹499 free delivery policy). When I tried to cancel, an agent sent a formal email promising a refund after delivery. Now that the item is delivered, they are refusing the refund, calling it a "wrong promise."

The Full Story:

The Policy Violation: On April 19, I placed orders totaling ₹2032. Amazon's policy clearly states free delivery for orders above ₹499. Despite this, I was charged ₹236 for shipping.

My Warning: I told the agent very clearly: "I don't want to order if I'm being charged for delivery. I'd rather spend ₹399 on the Prime Shopping membership than pay ₹236 for a single delivery." 3.

Written commitment: To stop me from cancelling, the agent sent me a formal email stating: "As per confirmation from our backend team, once it is delivered, we will issue the refund for the shipping charges you paid." (Idk how to attach a screenshot here)

Amazon scam: I relied on this written commitment and paid.

Today (April 24),i called as shipment received. A different agent told me the previous agent made a "wrong promise" and they will not honor it. And he cut the phone.

This is textbook mis-selling and unfair trade practices. They induced me to spend money based on a written assurance they had no intention of keeping.

I have already filed a complaint on the National Consumer Forum.

Has anyone else dealt with Amazon backing out of written email promises? How did you get them to escalate this?

I ordered an iPhone 17 on Amazon with next-day delivery, but it was never delivered. The delivery agent marked “attempted delivery” multiple times, claiming I wasn’t available—even though I was at home and confirmed my availability. Worst experience ever
