My wife bought her kindle in the UK before moving here to retire.
The clever thing about it is that it knows where you bought it from, ie which country. Amazon.uk has lots more choice than the amazon.es & even amazon.com.
We did manage once to download something from amazon.es, but I cannot exactly remember how. You used to be able to download only from the country of kindle purchase, but I think it's changed now, but am not so techno-savvy to tell you how.
Sorry.

It is no longer a problem.

If you buy in Spain it will set up a Kindle account at Amazon Spain but it can easily be changed (assuming you also have a UK Amazon account). You just go to "manage my Kindle" and assign it to the UK store.

I can only change to the USA so I assume that, even though my Amazon account was started in the UK it´s because my invoice address is in Spain.

Is it possible to use the address of a friend for my kindle only?

Thanks for your help.

Did you buy it in the UK? I did and have never had any problems with downloading from Amazon.co.uk.

Yes I bought it via Amazon.co.uk but my billing address is in Spain, which is where my UK credit cards are registered. It´s a complete pain as if I buy from Amazon US I still have to pay fees and exchange rates.

I re-registered one of my cards to a UK address. Do you have an option to do that?

Well mine was bought in the UK and my UK credit cards have my spanish address and I never have any problems on buying from the UK site.

I´ve just tried it again and am getting this message.

Kindle titles for your country are not available at Amazon.co.uk.
Please shop for Kindle titles at Amazon.es.

You are lucky.

Why don´t you do a "live chat" on Amazon.co.uk and explain the problem I have found them really helpful. What would happen if you were moving back for instance.

As I said, if you have an Amazon UK account then just move your Kindle to that account. Your Kindle can only be registered to one account at a time.

You cannot buy books from a different account to the one that your Kindle is registered to.

If for some reason you wanted to buy from both stores then just keep moving your registered Kindle address from one to the other.

Thanks all for the kindle comments

I just read that spain will be copying the US 'Black Friday' this week - a day of big discounts to boost trade (in the US it's to counter the quiet days after Thanksgiving, in Spain apparently just a boost ahead of the Christmas campaign.

Anyway, if you're thinking of buying something expensive and you're not dead set against buying in Spain, it might be worth checking any discounts.


Edited to add, it includes El Corte Ingles, Apple, Amazon and MediaMarkt, all mentioned on this thread

Hopefully 10% discount. Also Amazon.co.uk.

Definitely decided on the IPad Air.

Lol, I just had a Goldcar ad come through with Black Friday 80% off, taking it a bit far, lol

Im such a mug, I never thought to look at the site, they have cars for €2 a day and I could have had a nice Audi for a few quid more, gutted, but Im sure there will be a condition !
