I have slept on it and I think I will still return my Kindle.

It's left a bad taste in my mouth really, I love the idea of ebook readers so I think I will get a SONY as thats actually supported in the UK. My credit card is about to take the hit of purchasing all the terry pratchett books in one go!
Thanks folks - think I will send some feedback to Amazon along with my kindle. I guess faeces packed in with the Kindle might invalidate their returns policy so I guess just a letter will have to do  |
Sorry you had such a disappointment, and yes, a polite letter to Amazon explaining your reasons is a great idea. I hope they will understand some day that trying to chain users to their device and/or store is not a good idea in the long term.
FYI, Fictionwise is not really a viable option for us Europeans now, most of their DRM books have geographical restrictions. Books on Board has more books available for Europe, and Cyberread is slightly more expensive but has no geographical restrictions.
