You always sound like: Why do you care? There are so many free classics out there. Why don't you read them instead of hunting for books you cannot buy? etc. You never really worded it like that but that was my impression of reading between lines of your posts.
Please, don't get me wrong, I am not gloating or anything, but I am surprised. |
To be honest with you, astra - yes, the Kindle has disappointed me. Not the machine itself (which is very nice), but the fact that its primary selling point is the easy wireless purchase of books, and, basically, every single blooming book that I've wanted to buy has been geographically restricted!
Amazon has announced the setting up of a UK bookstore, so hopefully that will aleviate the problem, but at present, owning an international Kindle is a fraustrating experience when it comes to buying "bestsellers". If that's your desire, there are many better devices available at present.
