Hmmm a new thread or not????
I am in Australia, and would like to purchase a Touch and a Fire as Christmas presents for family members. They may be late presents admittedly depending on how soon I order, and shipping dates.
As we use a 240V system and US I think is 110V, does this matter, or is the only way to charge them both thru a USB port? I presume you can use a normal power point which takes a USB connection.
I have a friend in the USA who I hope will order them for me. Is there anything else I should be wary of if I go ahead with this order. e.g. setting up amazon account or somesuch?
