But if you're in China (like me), and you use a Kindle, that's when you really hit a brick wall! Because even if you have previously bought stuff from Amazon (using a credit card drawn on a Chinese bank) and had it shipped to China with no problem, Amazon will now refuse to let you make any purchases from the Kindle store because "Kindle and Kindle content are not available for China".
You cannot use the Kindle wireless service to do anything here, the only thing that will be piped through to you is a welcome message from the CEO when you register the device! 
But I did have hopes that Amazon would permit me to buy ebooks, download them and put them on with the USB cord. |
Welcome to MobileRead, Polokus
Did you buy your kindle thru Amazon, and did they ship it to China?
Or did you buy it thru a third party, like ebay?
Amazon is pretty specific in its kindle pages about where books are available.
That being said.....there are workarounds. One of the most popular is using Amazon gift cards.
I'm not sure of the exact process, perhaps a search will help more.
In the meantime, check out some of the over 15,000 books available here. Click on 'ebooks', then, under formats, click "mobipocket"
(not 'mobipocket download guide")
You can sort by author, or genre.
Good luck.
