First: Thank you for answering so quickly. I will try to figure out how to get hold of an american credit card being outside the us.
To answer the Q about is it really worth the trouble. Well, when I purchased my first analogue 14.4 modem in 1994 I often asked my self excatly the same question. Is it really worth the trouble? Because it was next to impossible to make it work and get online and when I fianally suceeded and went online there was very little to do. At least regarding Danish websites. And everything was so slooooow. World Wide Wait - some of you guys may remeber. Still, was it worth it? Definitely!
I was aware of the trouble shooting before I got my Kindle- However, some things are just like water - it will flow no matter how much other attempt to put up barriers. I am convinced that eventually ebooks will flow to my Kindle - I just have to find the way ;-)
Besides: I have downloaded lots of the free books (classical litterature) and have found som new e-books. Which means I one day read Jane Eyre and the next day vampire novels. Which is fun.
However, since it is an expensive gadget, I have "discovered" an alternative way of using my Kindle which is usefull - and ecological. I read many documents, you know, stuff I have downloaded from the internet, white papers, research material etc. All pdfs. Instead of printing I read them from my Kindle. Of course you miss the goodies such as being able to make notes and enlarging the letters. But the bookmarking works. I went to a business meeting where we had maybe 80 pages to go through - I used my Kindle.
It worked perfectly! I take the train to work - it is so easy to put the Kindle in your (lady) handbag and take it out for reading while travelling, compared to a bunch of papers!
And besides - some amuse themselves solving sodukos - I amuse myself finding a way to make knowledge flow...
