Kindle UK frustrations

Hi all,

I'm still in love with my Kindle and have used it every day since I was presented with it at Christmas. It's not perfect, but none of it's quirks or minor shortcomings are unbearable by any means. However, I have two very frustrating complaints about the way things work for Kindle owners here in the UK...

The prices of many books here in the UK for the Kindle are higher than their paperback cousins. Unless I'm mistaken, the publishers are the guilty party for setting prices. It's simply a resurrection of the net book agreement and daylight robbery. To add insult to injury, VAT of 20% is levied against ebooks, but not dead tree versions.

Secondly, it's about time Amazon pulled their finger out and enabled UK owners to buy the same games as people in the US. I know this is probably something to do with licensing, but I want to play this Triple Town everyone is talking about!!!!

Ok, moan over. Thank you for listening

Leaston
