I love my Kindle, and I love eBooks. But one thing that has always bothered me is the inability to purchase eBooks from, say, the UK.
Recently in a discussion on eBook deals, someone was seeing a different price than what was being advertised for me. Turns out he lives out of the country. He said for the most part, he gets the same deals as those in the US (since his Kindle is registered in the US), but sometimes, like that particular book, he couldn't get the deal price. He had tired a different proxy and VPN too. Partly wanting to help, and partly wanting it for my own uses, I started hunting around for a solution, then I found this:
https://www.howtogeek.com/328197/how-to ... dle-books/
It's address based, and you can change your address. He tried it, and not only did it work, it removed the VAT.
Reading the article, it appears that the best deals are at Amazon India (doing a cursory search, the prices are better on most of the books I looked at), and there are times when I see deals on books in the UK.
I'm definitely going to give this a shot at some point.

I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

Re: Buy Kindle eBooks from another region.
To add, the article also brings up a great example where eBooks may be available in a different market than what you are in.

Good example (probably the one I'm going to try on):

vs
https://www.amazon.in/Two-Kinds-Truth-H ... B06X9KBD2B
($9.99 vs. $1.37)

Re: Buy Kindle eBooks from another region.
Holy shit, it worked! It worked with no problems that I can see!!!
I picked up Jordan Haprer's A Lesson in Violence. This book is not available for the Kindle in the US, but was only $2.75 at Amazon India. YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
This changes so much.

So, A Lesson in Violence is called She Rides Shotgun in the US, which I already have. SO LOOK OUT FOR TITLE CHANGES.

I bought a Gatorade today that said it was Strawberry Kiwi flavored, but to me it tasted a lot like apple juice.
