In the UK, Amazon insist on adding on a charge of $2+VAT ($2.30) to all books to pay for the wireless charges.
This means that ebooks that are free in the US cost $2.30 in the UK.
Yes, they add this fee even if you're not using whispernet to download the book to a Kindle.
No, they're not being up-front about it.

I can buy kindle books for the ipod touch which have a monetary value but couldn't find any which were free 
Why oh why do I feel like we get a bit of a raw deal in the UK - ie pay well over the odds for things which our US cousins get so much cheaper or indeed for nothing!
Anyway correct me if I'm wrong please. |
