Entire Kindle App (and Even Amazon's Help Forum) Down, I Guess?

So it started with a Kindle book not downloading to my Kindle paperwhite even tho the Kindle is totally connected to WiFi and have rebooted the Kindle; no luck. So I get into the Kindle app on both my Win11 laptop and my Win10 PC; those apps are not even opening. So I uninstall but when you go to Amazon and even though I'm totally signed in to Amazon, they won't reinstall, just get the loading wheel. And get this: Amazon's entire Forum seems to be down and not just for Kindle, you click on any forum like for Echo or whatever, you just get the loading wheel forever. Also, I can't even get the Kindle app to load on my iPhone.

Anybody else?

An update: According to downforeveryoneorjustme.com, the Amazon forum is indeed down, sigh.
 

I hate that when things are down. My internet went down at 1:30 AM last night just when I wanted to play my pre-bedtime game that requires an Internet connection.

Oh gee I googled it and people are saying Amazon tv is down for them, oh deary me.

Amazon's Prime Video is working on my tv and I can get on the Amazon website and look at products and my shopping list, etc. so I guess it mostly Kindle. What a nuisance.

Wow, I didn't know that (I don't have an android phone or tablet). That's too bad. (I hate it when they change stuff, sigh.)
 
I didn't know Amazon was down.....guess I had no reason to visit the site that day. I know that must've been very frustrating though.

@shedevil7953 I have the Kindle app on my android tablet and hardly ever use it. Now I'll have to check and see if what I loaded is still there. I think I downloaded a few things. Thank you for the info.
