Amazon has been doing a lot of screwing things lately.
A couple of years ago I made the mistake of joining Amazon Prime. Was great at first, but then items I regularly ordered all of a sudden couldn't be shipped to my PO Box. Huh? I contacted them twice about it and they couldn't (or wouldn't) give me a straight answer. I tricked the system for a few months by having it shipped to the local post office street address, with my box number as a suite number (the USPS allows this) which forced them to ship UPS. But they caught on to this after a while and that didn't work either. I figured out for myself the problem. They want to use their own delivery people instead of USPS, UPS or FedEx for many items, and since they don't have access to PO boxes, they just don't allow shipping there for certain items because they don't want to pay (at least for prime members). You'd think they could have been upfront about it. So I cancelled prime.
Recently tried to order the protein powder I've been using and discovered it can only be ordered by prime members. #$%^&#! Had to order from another vendor.
In general, Amazon has been getting really annoying with some of their antics.
Back to NLHFAP. I broke down and ordered a second hard copy, this one from Amazon, and got the kindle for another $2.99. Hopefully I can peddle it to a co-worker for $25 or so, as he seemed mildly interested. If not, it goes on the shelf with all the other multiple copies of 2+2 books I have. You're welcome, Mason.
