Had you bought the kindle, you would have had a 30 day, no questions asked, return policy, paying only shipping costs.
Not sure how much that would be from your location.
This would have let you play with it, download books, (free ones, of course,) and see if it was the best one for you.
If you are happy with your device, thats the important thing.
Can you download the "kindle for pc" app? There is a hack for it here, somewhere........you can still buy the kindle books at the cheaper price, read on your computer or liberate them to read on your current reader.
