MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Kindle Games in Canada? (Apparently NOT!)

bbesse · 09-28-2010, 02:16 AM

I reside in Victoria, BC, Canada. I have had my Kindle 3 (WiFi) for 2 weeks now and love it so far.
I saw an article on Engadget about Scrabble from Electronic Arts and decided I wanted it.

When I went to the Kindle Store on my PC, I found the game but is showed "Pricing infomation is not avalable". The games "Every Word" and "Shuffled Row" show the same thing.
When I tried to find it on the Kindle store from my Kindle and I can't find it.

Is this a Canadian thing? Or is it a temporary thing? If it's the first, I am on the verge of sending the Kindle back with a jar of Vaseline with explicit instructions on how to use it.

So in a more polite voice, has any other Canadian user seen this? I have posted a question to Amazon and am awaiting a response.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
"Frustrated in Victoria"
