Amazon Kindle Store

Have just bought a book via the usual one-click system. For some reason it hasn't arrived, and is showing as 'pending'. Why would this be?

If you haven't been billed for them (which it sounds like you haven't if it couldn't authorise your card) maybe cancel the order and start again.

Scroll down to his 4th post on the thread to see what fixed it for him.

Has your card expired ?

[tearinghair]

The first thing I did was check the wi-fi and card expiry date - both OK. I've tried deleting and rebuying, which didn't work - nothing happening at all - so will try the other solution a bit later. Many thanks.

Tried all the suggestions, but it still stubbornly refused to download. Spent about 40 minutes in online chat with Kindle, attempting various solutions - no use. Was eventually transferred to phone call, when it was fixed in 2 minutes (though without being able to explain why it had happened originally). Many thanks for the advice.
