I just bought some of the free sherlock holmes books just to see if it worked - worked just fine. Does the german store not have them for free? |

I'm talking about this one: http://www.amazon.com/The-Complete-S.../dp/B00AHE20W0
It's supposed to be the best one as far as having it work well on an e-reader, and this site says it's free: http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/13/3...herlock-holmes And it's actually showing as free on my completely separate US-account (which has a US address, I used it to buy two games on amazon.com). I'll try adding a US address to my account though and see if that works. Just gonna use one of a friend of mine edit: Doesn't appear to have changed anything.. it's my primary address right now and I added my creditcard. The funny thing is that it doesn't even shop up via the search, neither on my kindle nor on my desktop PC. I've got to use the direct link. Last edited by fauxpas; 12-16-2012 at 05:02 PM. |

Spoiler:
pseudo-edit: Just fixed it.. it was behaving strangely (see the spoiler section if you're curious) and the reason was that even though I had moved my account to amazon.com, it didn't move my particular device. Once I did, it worked perfectly fine |

So how did you move the device? I only know of the country setting in the Manage your Kindle section of their site.

^ So,then, how did you change it originally as in the below post? Not from the Manage your Kindle country settings?

It offered that to me in the "My Kindle" section as well as when I went to amazon.com and looked at Kindle ebooks.

It is one more thing of Amazon. Yes, you can do that, BUT we are only telling you half the truth. Go figure out the rest on your own!
