Like all other Dutch e-bookshops Amazon.nl will get their books from Centraal Boekhuis, the only major distributor that there is in the Netherlands. So they will offer exactly the same books as all these other shops. And the publishers will make sure that the prices are also the same. The only difference between Amazon.nl and the others will be the file format.

At least for independently published Amazon ebooks, that's been the way it's done at Amazon Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and Spain too. When a new Amazon Kindle Store opens, my husband's ebooks are immediately available there. I don't see why Holland would be different.

Sounds like it could go either way, then. *sits back and waits* Think I'll pre-order a few books from the US store, just in case... ;-)

Look at amazon.de
(perhaps here: http://www.amazon.de/books-englischs...&node=52044011) and you will get some impression what English books you might get. |

I know what ebooks I can buy on Amazon as a Dutchie, but that's only English. I hope that they are actually going to sell those ebooks in Dutch and also from the Dutch authors !?! That's what I thought was going to take a while.

So it seems I should have said: "Like all other Dutch e-bookshops Amazon.nl will get their Dutch books from Centraal Boekhuis." Their Dutch offering won't be any different from e.g. bol.com. Let's hope Harry is right about the English books.

Usually, if you have a store in your contry of residence, you are locked into one country, but can change it in the kindle address settings. This may be different if you don't have a local amazon store. For those of you who say you can connect to a diffent store, try adding an mp3 or kindle book to your shopping cart and see what happens. If you are logged in, you should not even see a price or the cart. I wish I could just purchase content (eooks and music) from any amazon store I want. I like French pop, and most of it is unavailable on amazon, iTunes, Goole Play here in the US. Amazon often offers the songs I am looking for, but as covers by some party band. It's sickening. And then there are the books I cannot get my hands on without changing country settings Last edited by xendula; 11-29-2012 at 10:38 PM. |

Never? Those things always happen sometimes during the next year. Sadly, they never announce a year with that...
(last news was: before the holidays. As the gift giving season has already started, I doubt it'll be this year as they first wanted to do books and toys. And the toy season started two weeks ago) |
