I'm going to order the 3G....:thumbsup:

I registered it with the UK site and used my brother's UK address. He also has a Kindle and it wasn't a problem to use his address for mine also. I also set up my Spanish address as a second address.

I buy all my books from the UK website using a 1-Click account which you set up when you first register.

You can also buy direct from your Kindle wherever you are (assuming you have the 3G version).

If I lived in UK with access to a good library I would probably not bother with a Kindle but living in Spain it is wonderful. Instead of being limited to reading English books found in charity shops etc I now have access to almost anything I want to read.

I live in the UK, but still have a kindle as I can get any book I want on line, and for free, we do have a library here, but they often don't have the book you want, and I'm not prepared to pay to reserve. It's the new books taht I want, but they are in demand at the library, so I get them for my kindle for free..

They have a terrible reputation for after sales service and have had for a long time. The fact that they are owned by Dixons doesn't help.

Wow you have surprised me,:o I must admit though, I do get some conflicting emails when I order, even in Hungarian since I have purchased from there before too. I´m not quite sure why this happens and have asked them to no avail, but I have always had my goods and I have had three lots now, they are not bad on price.
