Looking at getting a Kindle for someone who travels alot so the 3G is the option to go but what im wondering is would it be better to buy from Amazon or PCWorld. there is no difference in price to me PCWorld obviously being more convenient and quicker but im worried seeing the comments about the PCWorld ones having issues using amazon UK account? what exactly is the problem here and is it easily gotten round?
Any advise?

A Kindle bought from Amazon will be exactly the same as one bought from PCWorld. The problem seems to be that Amazon can tell where you are located and if you are not in the UK it will direct you to the Amazon.com website.

Ring them, Amazon have been offering a refund or replacement option since late December.

Rang - got a refund and a voucher for €25.00.

OH has taken the clips off the cover and attached my kindle with velcro. Works a treat. Win:D:D

They seem to only be available at the PC world at Dublin airport.

You would be better off ordering from Amazon.com

Mine is already broken

Today I picked it up and only the bottom third of the screen works, the rest is blank.

I am bringing it back to PC world for replacement tomorrow.

Nuno, was there any problem getting a replacement? Mine has gone the same way after 1 week.

I bought a Kindle in Dixons in Dublin Airport in June - and stood on it last week.

The top 3-4cm of the screen was stuck on the screensaver and wouldn't refresh.

I rang Amazon (in the US as that's where Irish users are sent) and after trying an unsuccessful reboot over the phone they told me they would credit my Amazon account with the cost of a Kindle - and promptly dispatched me a brand new one which I got in two days! No searching questions asked or blame apportioned!

I simply have to send them the old one back and let them know the postage cost so they can credit me the amount.

Now that's customer service. The new Kindle was even already set up with my Amazon details so I only had to sync it to get my books back.

Yeah based on what I've heard Amazon are very good with that sort of thing, I haven't had any problems with my kindle though, long may it continue.

My mother bought a PC world kindle just before Christmas and I'd like to get her a voucher for some books. Should I get a UK voucher or a US voucher? (or is there a euro one?)
