Coming to Austin this week. firstly im not even sure if ordering off the web to a hotel will work. if not then that will settle that
, but if i can get some kind of delivery sorted out then my mum will deffo want a kindle. its the best value for us, and it seems the kindle will actually never come to the UK at this rate
.
okay here are the Qs
1:
Obv using the kindle in the uk pretty much means buying from the kindle store itself is not a good idea, because they will work out very expensive. So that means buying from sites like fictionwise, and wherever else. so basically:
is the kindle compatible with most ebook formats? is it easy top transfer them over? like an mp3 player almost. or is it designed to only be used with the amazon store?
2:
any sites like fictionwise? that dont geographically restrict. i know there is a way to subvert the system per say and make fictionwise work, but still im hoping for a great selection with good price. i mean i understand its a new market. but the prices of ebooks on UK sites are horrenous. almost more than in retail book stores. and at least 1.5x more than on online book stores.
3:
anyone in the same position as me? how are you finding it? is it worth the money even with the extra charges on the amazon store and the limited ebook sites for the uk (as well as the price)
one of the main reason for my mum getting one is simply the size and convenience. nothing beats paper, but she loves fantasy books, and she struggles holding 900 page hardbacks (even thick paper backs give he wrist pains after about an hour.)
hope you guys can help
