Memory cells are not working......... a GR member (who posts regularly) lives in Spain, and has a kindle........ can't remember who.

Maybe change the title of the thread to mention Kindle & Spain..... you might get a response

Good luck.

Thanks for that input.
The E reader I am looking at (the Spanish one) appears to have exactly the same functions as the Kindle Fire.......music downloads, texts e books etc.
As I understand it, there are several apps which are available to Kindle Fire users in England which can´t be accessed by Fire users abroad. EG Love film instant.
I just wish I was more savvy about these things.
If I was in England, the choice would be clear, but being an English resident in Spain muddies the water a bit.

If you buy a Kindle and have to pay £25.00 for the delivery, I can assure you that the selection the price of the books, from free to full price for new releases by popular authors. You Kindle will pay for itself within months.

I have had mine for nearly 2 years now, and have found some amazing new authors, many in the Free sections and most around the £1-£2 price range.

I would suggest you go onto the Amazon site and look at the books on offer and look at the Free Book selection. And also many books are offered for free for 1 day only from many popular authors.

Then decide if you think a Kindle is too expensive. And you can download books from any site onto any ereader these days.

And if you get a Kindle Fire, you then have a tablet computer as well....

Have spent several days looking at various Kindles. I live in Spain & it seems that if I order from the English site, not only will I be charged 25 pounds for delivery, but several of the apps are only available in England.
If I order from the Spanish site, I get free delivery but the selection of books seems very limited (English ones that is)
This morning I have seen a Spanish E reader which appears to have everything that Kindle Fire has, but is €50 cheaper. It looks excellent & the lady in the shop assures me that she has sold several to English customers who have been able to download English newspapers, magazines & books with no problem....although I presume not from Amazon.
Any views please?
