There is a lot of talk about the new plans storage Amazon Cloud Drive launched yesterday. Unlimited Photos to 12 dollars a year and Unlimited Everything at $ 60 / year, they convinced a bit ‘all, but there is an advantage that is coming out at this time. Amazon seems to have deleted the 5 GB of free cloud offered since 2011 to all users with Kindle devices.
There are several reports of users who, today, are not longer able to use that space to store personal content to be read on the Kindle (or ebook reader app) and this is a serious problem because of the most often used functions is Send-to-Kindle , the service document conversion via email.
In fact, if you try to record new Amazon account and goes a Kindle, you do not get free storage. The “correct” way to go to have at least 5 GB as in the past is to own (and then match) a tablet Fire or be Customer First .
There is a difference, then, between owning a Kindle Paperwhite and owning a Fire HD 7. The first does not guarantee any access to storage space “extra” (stay out of this discourse space ebooks for Amazon, even unlimited) while the second has the features of all time.
It is still a question to be taken a little ‘lightly – at least until proven otherwise. It could be a technical problem , a technical problem related to the new plans or error that will be corrected in the coming hours. Reports online continue to increase but for the moment there is no confirmation or denial from the company. We will follow the story and let you know.
Update: 5 GB of free cloud space have been replaced by three months trial of one of the services Unlimited (Photos or Everything) – to be activated separately. Files down loaded in the 5 GB will not be deleted and will remain accessible, but to post new documents must subscribe to one of the plans.
