    No it wont make any difference as it will be registered to your account on amazon, which you can reset online anywayto another person.

    Why send it to Chicago when it only took 3 days for mine to arrive from the US

    Free delivery and no custom charges?

    I'm thinking of getting the new Kindle touch(or Kindle keyboard) delivered to a friend of mine who lives in Chicago and will be home for Xmas. I was wondering will purchasing it from America and then registering it etc. pose any compatability issues when I use it here?

    No problems, with the Kindle 3 at least. I got mine in the US and registered it here. You can even change the reg back and forth to your UK Amazon if you want. It comes (at least the Kindle 3 I got did) with both US and UK English dictionaries. And when it died (or I broke it.....) they replaced it no bother - from the US by UPS, duty paid and all.

    So guys why don't I seem to be able to order the new Kindle wifi/3G for delivery to Ireland?

    If I try, it directs me to the non-us page which does not offer the 3G version.

    Thanks

    Folks does the Kindle with free 3G and Wifi they are selling in Tesco have touch screen functionality as well as the keyboard and web browsing?

    Thanks

    I bought the Wi-Fi Kindle 4 at the Airside Currys/PC World outlet this weekend for €109; just setting it up now and very pleased with it; looking forward to checking out the advice from others on boards.ie. :)

    Neither of the Kindles Tesco is selling are touchscreen - even the one without the keyboard! It has an on screen keyboard but you would select letters using the "5 way controller" ... the square rocker button. It doesn't sound very user friendly, but if you only read and don't take notes (or web browse) then it probably wouldn't matter to you.
