Thanks. Gift vouchers are tricky too, inexplicably you have to buy it on the marketplace the recipient uses, which need not be your own marketplace. They can only be spent on the marketplace where they are purchased.
For now, the potential giver and recipient are in Ireland and using Amazon_co_uk. There is an option to use Amazon_com INSTEAD of (not as well as) Amazon_co_uk, which inexplicably is the Marketplace for Ireland, for Kindle.
Ireland Punt broke from Sterling in 1980s and Ireland isn't part of the UK since 1922. Amazon only exists from 1998, I think, and Punt pegged to Euro sometime then with actual notes 2000, I think.
Certainly originally you couldn't gift kindle ebooks, but you can now on Amazon_co_uk, having messed up once on the Gift voucher I want first hand users of the process on Amazon_co_uk!
Sorry for not clarifying that at the start. I've said elsewhere, on various places and times that it's baffling that all the Paypal, eBay, Amazon, etc domains are not just the same site with content filtered by location (either guest search or logged in profile) and separate user selection of language.
Mysteriously they DID add other languages to Amazon.de (try it) and the search even translates to find results that have only a German title and description. It also oddly better indicates if delivery is possible. Sometimes amazon UK does and other times is only at the checkout. Possibly in case you are entering a gift to another address, which is a security flaw loved by fraudsters.
