High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Restricted for users in Syria. Community verification in February 2026 found the Kindle website and Android app work for browsing the store, but account creation fails with an unusual-activity error, which blocks sign-in and reading any books, including free ones. The team named Kindle in official outreach to Amazon in March 2026; no resolution yet.
Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent to Amazon mentioning Kindle as one of the restricted consumer products requiring access restoration for Syrian users.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Amazon Kindle or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
