I don't even know what version I should use or why I'm not auto-directed elsewhere... since they can see where my computer is. Or why it would be different... I guess some books or stuff is not released everywhere? Lke they won't ship the kindle device to sweden, but I have to find a europe-version to have it ordered? (found none when I looked on 'my' amazon)...
I read a few other threads about new upcoming kindle formats and stuff, and it's all way over my head.. so I'm going to shy away from kindles anyway 
They're confusing and messy, I don't want to buy stuff from them. Except cheap or free books. (I don't like that they have my credit card saved either, frankly... no other store I know of keeps that info for future purchases..then again I hardly ever use the card for online buys.. but they gave me no other option, which I dislike).
But thanks for explaining  |
Well now let's see, you can use a gift card and take off the credit card.
Also you can delete the credit card after every purchase. You just have to re-enter it to get a book.
Does Amazon let you grab free books there? If yes then you will be fine.
Yes, Amazon knows where you are. The people that are posting they lost their libraries used a VPN to show that they were in a different country. They had their computers lie to Amazon. They purposely did it. Since Amazon knows where you are, there is no way to accidentally buy a book you aren't supposed to have.
As far as formats go, Amazon sends the format that best goes with your kindle.
It is not a concern unless you convert or are worried about saving your library on your computer.
Now if it was me and I wanted a kindle, I would find the one I want at whichever Amazon you use. Try to buy it, you will either get a kindle or you will get a message saying go to your country's store.
I have read all the same threads.
Most are complaining especially on the books from other countries because they got caught doing something wrong.
I think Sweden can use either Amazon.Com or Amazon.de.
Just a little something to think about.
