Submission + - $50 Fire tablet with high-capacity SDXC slot doesn't see e-books on the SD card 1

Submitted by Robotech_Master
Robotech_Master writes: For all that the $50 Fire has a 128 GB capable SDXC card slot that outclasses every other tablet in its price range, and it evolved out of Amazon's flagship e-book reader, it strangely lacks the ability to index e-books on that card. This seems like a strange oversight, given that every other media app on the tablet uses that card for downloading and storage, and its 5 GB usable internal memory isn't a lot for people who have a large library of picture-heavy e-books—especially if they want to install other apps, too.

On some cell phone services (I don't know if T-Mobile is one of these), if Alice is on a call with Bob, gets a call from Carol via call waiting, and accepts it, then two things happen:
  1. The system is unable to properly record Carol's call. It shows up as "unknown" in Alice's phone's call log and may not show as an identified number on her bill.
  2. Alice will be double-billed for the time that she's talking with Carol, because Bob is still sitting there with his call "on hold" in the system. This should - should - stop if Bob hangs up.
Check if this is a possibility. (The CSR should have checked too, but I'm not sure if front-line CSRs would know this.)
