I have a question about using the American kindle in Australia.

I know i need a separate account, gift vouchers and so on (http://www.nerdgirl.com/amazon-kindl...de-of-the-us-0) however why exactly will the wireless not work?

It must be some problem with your kindle or your reception. I am in Brisbane and my kindle downloads books on the whispernet with no problems, every time.

Hopefully you have it sorted by now
