Well it should be. Wait for a few hours, and if it still shows .com in the kindle management then just send them an email. Dont specifically say you live outside the UK, just say you dont understand why you are registered on .com when your kindle (s) is / are based in the UK

We have had no problems since changing ours by email

Follow up to this. Graham has just looked into buying a book and it comes up with the details and price in UK but not in USA so I think that your method worked brilliantly, THANK YOU.

Mitzyboy

Hurrrahhhhh .... I'll go back to my bathroom tiling now

Rosemary

No, no, no, please, please pretty please just one more question. Where it said the name of the Kindles it still says .com, is this a problem, is this what I may need to e-mail them about?

Rosemary

Mitzyboy

I only remember that it didnt happen right away ... I had to wait for a few hours before it kicked in.

But yes, you want it registered to the .co.uk site, so if they dont do it then send that email

hi mitzyboy. i got o the manage your kindle page on co.uk and it says:

Your Kindle account is currently registered at Amazon.com. Go to the Manage Your Kindle page at Amazon.com.

I go to amazon.com page and it says:

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Its difficult to make understand it all. In your manage your kindle section is your country set to UK?

The same as the oddities really, all you need to do is email amazon and tell them a mistake has been made and ask them to register it to .co.uk, on the basis that your kindle is based in the UK

It doesnt sound as if your kindle is registered at .com though, from the above. Have you actually registered it yourself?

Wow! I've had mine for over a 1-1/2 years and have no probs despite taking it on all my travels camping. I really love it and would buy another one without hesitation.

Palmera

sorry Mitzyboy, i assumed you'd read my earlier posts. It was registered to .com so i de-registered it, rightly or wrongly! It says i can put in my 16 digit serial number to re-register it with them but obv i want it on .co.uk

I have emailed both .com and .uk with this question and neither are giving me a definitive answer. It is on its way to me from the UK so will be with me next week so maybe i can do something from the kindle itself.....?

Chiclanagir

Phone them up. They were very helpful when I phoned about non delivery of a book.

Mitzyboy

No, you register on your account on amazon when you have the serial number. To save me going back, if you have a kindle amazon.co.uk account, then you just register it on there. The easiest way to have done it would have been to ask amazon to transfer it from com to uk

We dont use them for books at all now

Chiclanagir

So who do you use?

Palmera

who do you use mitztyboy? Thanks.

Mitzyboy

I'm not sure I should say, for fear of being berated

But suffice it to say that you wouldnt be able to use them because in effect it's a members only site of which I think only two people on here are members

Chiclanagir

I won´t berate you!
