Can anyone help.

I live in Spain and want to purchase an Amazon Kindle.

Amazon UK has redirected me to Amazon.com.

I don't particularly want to be tied into an amazon.com on line store as I have heard the books are generally more expenisve in the USA. Plus the purchase price with post and additional fees is 30 pounds more expensive than Amazon UK

My basic question is can I use the Kindle with Wifi and 3G if purchased in the UK in Spain. The network showing on the UK site says that reception is good as does the US site.

Good to have your company, Elaine. Yup, do ask about this in the Kindle-dedicated forums here for expert advice. Meantime, it might be worth considering alternatives to Kindle and asking if you really do need wi-fi in the device itself when you have a computer and free Calibre library to use ePub open-format ebooks from pretty well any source but Amazon. Cheers. Neil
