Where did the "Tell the publisher" button go?

Brandis · 12-11-2009, 06:18 AM

Recently I found some books on Amazon that I would love to read on my Kindle but they are not offered as eBooks.

I read somewhere that one should press the button underneath books not sold as ebooks which said "I'd like to read this book on Kindle".

But I don't see this button on any book I'm interested in.

Did Amazon revoke this button?

It's there for me. I'm in the U.S. though if that matters.

I don't see it either. Neither when I'm logged in or not. If it's something to do with geographical place, then it must go by IP address.

I'm in Switzerland. But since they sell the Kindle international now they should make this button available to everyone as well...

I took a screenshot of the book website how I see it:

Maybe someone could press the button for me?

I doubt it's by IP as I'm also in Switzerland (with a Swiss IP) and I have "tell the publisher" button. But, my Amazon account is set up as US.

Ah thats why i don't see it anymore.. when you access to amazon via the kindle, it seems that amazon knows where you are and changes your location.
