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.

Re: IPad in Spain
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!
