I have already followed my own steps to remediate this:
1. Unplug Echo Device
2. Throw Echo Device in Trash
3. Done

Israel’s genocide in Gaza depends on the infrastructure and services of tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.

So, Amazon thinks my novella paperback content is stolen from my ebook content, and I have been unable to resolve the issue.
They are now telling me they are closing my author account. The whole experience with them has been traumatic.

On the other hand these Amazon-contracted sub-postpersons aren’t trusted with the postal key, a sesame to access mailboxes and package rooms in residential buildings throughout the city of New York.
In my building, this leads to Amazon packages being left in the hall, and apparently there has been enough package theft reports that the management company had to put up signs urging Amazon delivery people not to leave them the hall, but I believe they are paid way too low (as sub-postpersons) to comply with these rules that wouldn’t be needed if people didn’t order on Amazon in the first place.
CQFD.
