Changing PW offers country of origin

maxilogan · 04-12-2013, 01:11 AM

I have a jailbreaked PW which I purchased through my colleagues living in FL and got once they came to the headquarters in Italy. At the time, PW was still not on catalogue on Amazon.it

I wonder whether I can change the special offers I see so that they correspond to the Italian Amazon site/catalogue. Don't want to get rid of them, just (as I mostly read in Italian rather than English) take advantage of them if there is something interesting in Italian. Is it something violating the EULA?

Thank you in advance

You can't. IIRC, the SO models are only sold in the US, so SO devices only contain US-specific ads.

Absolutely right. SO Kindles are officially only sold for the US market.

I didn't know about this.. so it makes sense to keep it like it is: between no SO (an hypothetical change to the Italian version) and English SO, I'll maintain the latter, so that if I face anything valuable in English I'll buy it, while for Italian SOs I'll keep looking to the Amazon.it website

Thanks for your help, this community in great! (Had a Nook classic before the kindle and found a real lot of resources here).

In order to remove the SO it's enough to contact the Amazon's Support and declare that you live outside US and do not plan to use their shop. I did it, as I reside in Poland, and they removed the SO remotely for free.
