UK Amazon rather than US Amazon

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

UK Amazon rather than US Amazon

Post by JoW »

Hi,
I've been sent through Books of the Day to purchase, but unfortunately I am unable to download the books from US Amazon as I live in the UK. I can download on UK Amazon but may not necessarily be able to access the offers.
Just wanted to mention this.
Jo

Hi, you can still purchase Kindle books from the .com version of Amazon even if you are in non-USA locations such as the UK. It's not inconvenient, and so I'm sorry about that. You need to have an account on .com version of Amazon and need to set it as default, I believe.

I know what you are talking about. I had a US Amazon account but I live in Japan, and it all depends on which countries hold the copyrights to the books. Or something like that. I couldn't always get the free books even if they were free in the US even though I was buying them from the US site. On the bright side, I just moved to the US, so now I don't have that problem. Haha.
