Yea thanks to reading up on this forum before i bought my kindle. I almost purchased the kindle using my normal Amazon account. I ended up creating a "US account", got some gift vouchers to boot and bout the Kindle 3 as a "gift" using my normal Amazon account. I'm loving the screen alot although I don't have any previous readers, I did test a few readers at officeworks and jb-hifi and they were terrible compared to the Kindle 3. Surely money well spent
