I've tried to buy one here in Spain from Amazon UK and also Amazon.es but they both direct me to the American site which I don't want to use, so buying one in the UK would be better if it's not too difficult. I know Kindle have been discussed here before, but I don't have the time to go through all the posts to find if there is an answer there. Any help would be much appreciated as my husband wants one.....yesterday. :rofl: There is an Amazon.es now, but the range is limited & they're expensive. So if it's only English books you want, no problem. The charger will be a 3pin UK plug, so you'll need an adapter here. |

And the Kindle is not available through the Spanish site - it just redirects you to the US site.
I believe it's all to do with copyright laws, Kindle is an American product and they object to Spain not signing up to the same copyright restrictions as they and the UK do. A bit daft really as it's as easy to get around as UK satellite TV is here. :rofl: |

The latest news for anyone else wanting to order a Kindle is that Amazon.es will start selling them at the end of the year.

Presumably if people buy their Kindle from Amazon.es they will have to order their books from Amazon. com and not the UK.
Rosemary I suspect though that Amazon.es will be more expensive, it is on other things. :thumbdown: |
