Do the following qualify in today's times?
Myth: Amazon is your best friend and loves you. Truth: Amazon could care less about you except how much money and private information it can suck out of you. Can you hear that whooosh of your life force being sucked out of you by Amazon? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

So..... my no. 1-6 IS truth then! ![]() But with reference to your answer. I have yet to find a member here, (who is NON American with NO kindly aunty to send gift cards, no FAKE Amazon account, no fake US address, etc.) who has successfully gotten their Kindle from their imaginary friend (be it eBay or whoever) to actually work outside the US. Most can't even get their books loaded as I believe the Kindle first needs to be initialized remotely by whispernet? Not sure... I mean WHO really wants to jump through so many hoops, tell so many lies, go through so many complications and feel like such a criminal! And all that just to own a Kindle! ![]() I suppose theoretically it may be possible... But in my original Truth or Myth post I did use the words LEGALLY, RESIDENT etc. Peace! |

Daffy4U, I'm so sorry! I'm not sure why you are so angry with me and I certainly didn't mean to be mean to ANYONE!
![]() I feel quite bad now as I was really enjoying this forum so much! Why would you say such a thing? What did I say that was mean and to whom did I say it? Tell me and I will apologize. P.S. Sorry I thought this was a site for ALL users of all devices from ALL countries in the world, so I was speaking from an international perspective. Sorry if I was mistaken.

In dragonbone's defense, I too have read people on the Amazon forums who are having trouble with Kindle overseas. Does the Kindle have to be registered via Whispernet, or does the website registration work?
