A new year—that magical time when we’re going to become fitness gurus, master chefs, and, of course, voracious readers. But if you’re in India and thinking about finally tackling that mountain of books that have accumulated on your TBR list, hold that thought. Especially if your brilliant plan involved getting a Kindle to avoid being found weeks later buried under an avalanche of paperbacks. Because somehow, Amazon has managed to run out of its own flagship e-reader in India. It’s like McDonald’s running out of burgers, or Instagram running out of filters—it’s left a lot of customers confused on the Internet and Amazon isn’t really telling us what to expect.
The company’s official statement? “We regret that Kindle e-readers are temporarily unavailable. Please keep an eye on our Amazon.in page for any updates regarding availability. Thank you for your understanding.” That doesn’t really answer the questions that a lot of customers in India have been talking about for a year now: Why did this happen? An Amazon insider told The Nod, “New devices are definitely coming, but there are a lot of factors, and I can’t tell you that we’ll definitely have them by a particular date. But it’s going to happen.” Read on to discover industry insiders (who prefer to remain anonymous because they don’t want to cross Amazon) theories on the case of the missing kindle.

Move over quiet quitting, career catfishing is here |
Move over quiet quitting, career catfishing is here |
- What do you call it when an employee accepts a job offer but never shows up for their first day of work? Career catfishing, apparently.
- According to a survey of 1,000 UK employees conducted by online résumé platform, CV Genius, 34 per cent of Gen Z workers are “catfishing” employers.
- Frustrated by seven rounds of interviews, a 10-business-day wait to get responses from managers, Gen Zers are trying to shift power dynamics by ghosting their employers back, after the offer’s in the bag.
- But it’s not just the under-27 set, one in four (24 per cent) of millennials have “career catfished,” as have 11 per cent of Gen Xers, and 7 per cent of boomers.
