UK Kindle owners

Kumabjorn · 08-01-2010, 01:36 AM

According to some posts here Amazon is charging some steep importation preparation fees for the Kindle 3 and associated accessories. Actually more than the price for the items. I haven't ordered mine yet, but if that is the case, I'm wondering if there are any UK members that are willing to make a contribution as proxies purchasing the items through UK Kindle Store for other European Kindle owners? Heck, It may even be cheaper to go on a RyanAir flight to Stansted (ow wherever they land) and pick it up in person, including a few pints at your own favourite pub (on me off course).

Kindle 'mules', eh? That'll be a new one for HM Customs to deal with.

It is a Breve New World when we start to smuggle words.

Sadly my smuggling skills are no match for Amazon's ultra high-level security. I'm having to wait until after August 27th like everyone else.

Ahh, the unobtrusive braggart, a rare breed in these times when modesty is the beacon of the meek.
