Welcome to the thread, Soriano!

I think US and Europe are the great sources of e-books nowadays. Some places take PayPal accounts, but if you don't have a validated US address, even if you have funds to pay for your purchase, stores will not accept the transaction to begin with.

This is the case with JR, for instance, who only sells through PayPal if your validated address is American. And if you want to provide a different address for delivery in the US, maybe if you have a friend or relative who can take care of receiving the package, it's the same, their automated system will reject the operation. (Anyway, I don't use JR to buy books.)

As you say, you have to download what is available for people with foreign credit cards or foreign validated addresses. Or find "alternative" download places. But beside the legal and moral objections you may have, this Forum has a very restrictive policy about illegal practices and warez, so I strongly recommend that you leave the subject out before starting, so you won't be banned or something. After the Administrators' recent exodus, I don't know if there is anyone managing the contents of our posts, but I make the comment just in case.

I have friends at the University of Guadalajara, are you a student or teacher there?

Tell us what do you use your Edge for, and if you already took your chances with Ermine! Please recommend applications you have successfully installed and you like!

If you know sites with fine magazines, newspapers or books in Spanish, you may want to recommend them to people who use it as a second language. I remember having read that there was someone studying Spanish around here...

Enjoy your tequila, and let's hope more Latin American people pass by.

¡Saludos, Soriano. cuídate mucho!
