I went online to buy something and got an error message ("We're sorry, an error has occurred. Please reload this page and try again." . Went to Twitter and found out it's been down since 10:36, with reports of outages in Germany and India as well. This is unprecedented.

But if that was the case, I would have been woken up last night.

ETA: Well, prime video was working on my fire stick and I can get to Kindle Unlimited, but I can't access content or return the book I was going to. So, maybe they are having a server issue.

Silicon Valley's wanted to take down Amazon & Bezos for some time.
Trump hates Bezos too. Btw.
But, perhaps it's just a 'glitch'.
Guess we'll find out

(1,737 posts)I am not receiving an error message. However, I was searching for a product earlier and fell asleep. For the past few minutes, I've been trying to click on different products with no success. It loops back to the search results or front page.
Edit to say: I was able to purchase the items already in my cart. Hopefully, my info is safe.

(28,347 posts)Some days everything is fine, then there are days where I can't do much at all.
I've no clue on what's going on, but It's very aggravating.
There also seems to be an issue lately with Verizon -- briefly losing connection or being slow. For instance loading DU can be a super-duper slow ordeal.
