    I now use it only for things like books

    Regarding that … I recently bought a hefty biography on Oppenheimer - should have had more than 500 pages, great reviews. What arrived was a 50-page small format booklet. Not even books are a “safe buy” on Amazon.

      Wow. I thought you were heading towards it being self-published with fake accreditation or something. Did not expect this.

        I didn’t check. I sent it right back. It looks like it was some bait and switch scheme, when I received the book I checked the amazon page and there were many other new complaints about this exact thing.
