Unhappy No Kindle Covers For International Customers

Hi All,

This is my first post so please be patient.

I have decided to buy the Kindle International along with a light and a cover to protect it. Immagine my surprise when I went to check out and was told that I could not order the cover. I tried over 20 different covers and each time Amazon refused to accept the order. I found this to be rather strange that I could order the Kindle but not a cover. Has anyone else experienced this? I called Amazon and they said that they would pass this to their marketing department.......mmmmmm.

P.S. I live in Italy and there are no restrictions regarding covers.

Try M-Edge directly. I believe they sell internationally (their "about us" page says they do).

Thanks Daffy but the covers by M-Edge do not look of good quality. I was hoping to order something nicer like the OCTO slip.

Hi deniseee and welcome to MobileRead. I've been using MEdge covers on my Sony 505 and been very pleased with them

The M-Edge covers are of very good quality and are one of the most popular reader covers. If you're not fond of the styles I'm sure there will be other alternatives available to you.

You may want to contact the OCTO folks directly about shipping to your country [I own a couple of their products for my Kindle 1].

I have a Noreve cover for my K2 and like it very much. They are a European company, and they say "worldwide shipping" on their website.
