For some reason, @amazon no longer seems to consider standard Utah grid-type addresses (e.g., 142 W 1300 S) to be valid. #Annoying 07:27:15, 2013-04-09
Solution: add Street at the end. @amazon then suggests the address you wanted to enter in the 1st place but it wouldn't let you. in reply to EricJamesStone 07:31:23, 2013-04-09

A few weeks ago I enjoyed listening to Nebula-nominated novel THRONE OF THE CRESCENT MOON by @saladinahmed. http://t.co/9s3Fx8I2w8 11:04:35, 2013-02-23
Then I enjoyed listening to Nebula-nominated novel GLAMOUR IN GLASS by @MaryRobinette. http://t.co/AFnMYr9al7 11:06:00, 2013-02-23
After that, I enjoyed listening to the Norton-&-Audie nominated novel ENCHANTED by @AletheaKontis. http://t.co/GeAddMj01w 11:10:58, 2013-02-23
Now, I'm 25% into (and enjoying so far) the Nebula-nominated novel IRONSKIN by @tinaconnolly. http://t.co/QyNU9W8MPS 11:12:30, 2013-02-23
