Then I went to get another one and got the dreaded email from amazon telling me to correct my address I have no idea what tipped them off that I wasn't american.
I was loading the books into K4PC and am wondering if perhaps the K4PC software reported back to them that it was installed on an Aussie machine? Anyhow its all too much work and I wish they'd wake up and realise its a global ecconomy now, and Yes I know its not totally Amazons fault.
Interesting. That's exactly what I've been doing without problems but haven't tried for a while. I will probably try to set this up for UK Amazon tomorrow and see what happens.
