What does "Amazon knocked hit a room run" mean? Is this an expression I've never heard or just like a transcription error?

I cannot believe Amazon has such contempt for their customers. Where do I begin?

1. The screen is so dim that you need at least 75% backlight to read it in indoor conditions. For reference, the Paperwhite series can be read with zero backlight indoors in normal light.

2. Text is more grainy than ever. There is still ghosting in the backgrounds.

3. Thousands, if not tens of thousands of new Colorsoft Kindles have shipped with a defective yellow-tinged stripe along the bottom of the display.

When I contacted Amazon they refused to send me a new one, because it sounds like they've had so many calls about these being defective.

Massive failure of quality control and design.
