IPad in Spain
If I bought fan IPad in the UK possibly a refurbished one from Apple or Amazon would there be a problem using it in Spain?

Lots of second hand iPads on segundamano.com. Just make sure that they have no iTunes/app store account attached. And if you want the UK version of iTunes/app store then you need to give a credit card with a UK address

No problem at all, although not sure why you would buy one in the UK, they are no cheaper

That´s not a problem. I have a UK address. Going over for Christmas so can bring one back with me.
It was just my son put doubts in my mind with regard to the Apps.

What's different is if you buy a Kindle in UK, though there are ways round that now.

Re: IPad in Spain
I am considering getting a kindle and wondered if there'd be any significant difference between buying from amazon.co.uk and amazon.es.
I don't live in either of those countries now but theres no amazon where I am.
Any advice welcomed!

By the way, a 2 year guarentee with John Lewis isnt much good if you are thousands of miles away in Spain. That's why I would buy here from a Spanish retailer

I have had a bad experience with Media Markt today so not particularly in favour of Spanish retailers!

Re: IPad in Spain
Can you tell me why you would go for the IPad Air? Interestingly it says it has "backside illumination" but at my age do I really want my backside illuminated!
