A different email. I think you need Kindle for PC (BTW, there's no problem downloading there, the problem is downloading to a real Kindle), no direct download there.
Ah, thanks - wanted to be sure

You can't gift books to get around geo-restrictions if that's your goal.

It was more of the hoopla from a week or so ago where the author falsely stated she'd gotten threats because of the name of someone's shelf on Goodreads. And from a few years ago with the STGRB (which no one who is writing blog posts about the incident seems to research, they just see the name and say they must be good This guy was not the first to be questioned about it).

You can read the blog post which set it off HERE though he later retracted (kind of) his endorsement of STGRB (which there's more about in the comments in case you are unfamiliar with that site's tactics).

I think there's a thread in the General Discussions forum here, too.

Yes, there's a thread about it and, really, I find all the story totally ridiculous.

I wasn't planning to go around geo restrictions, I meant the price. For instance if a book is available in both countries but it's discounted in one.

Vegas has no sales tax ... and there are hotels worldwide.

Kobo used to check your IP (still does for some countries, I suspect), as do some of the AU bookstores. B&N might, but Amazon doesn't, from what I've seen (didn't try any stores that I couldn't translate, of course, and if the US store does ... well, that's where I am).

ETA: Maybe we need a thread so people in different areas could gift a freebie to those in "less loved areas" kind of a trade thing - "You gift me this Canadian freebie and i'll gift you this US one "
you generally cannot gift the free books (or authors would do thousands, to inflate their numbers even more).

one exception I've seen is at christianaudio.

For gifting, the receiver must be able to purchase the same asin at amazon. At Kobo, that isn't the case. In either store, the gift pays his price (with tax, if applicable); the price where the receiver lives is not used.

Don't know for sure. Assuming it's the same publisher (it often isn't) the price should be whatever it costs the person doing the gifting, but I've never tried it to know for sure.

Ah Okay! Yes I know about that drama. I don't know why I like to read about stuff like that but it's sometimes entertaining and sometimes if it involves a big author I need to see the words spoken for myself.

I am home finally. They kept me awhile. They gave me a really big shot of Antibiotics. Wow did that hurt! They wouldn't let me leave till they saw how the shot affected me. I also got some pill form antibiotics to take.

A shot is probably better even thought it hurt more, for some reason I think it starts to work more quickly/efficiently! Hope you start feeling better very very soon.*one more hug for good measure*

Yeah, the drama wasn't new. The guy who wrote this particular blog post posted it yesterday so people got upset again re: STGRB being held up as an example of how to act on the internet
