A site I use regularly for free kindle books is One Hundred Free Books. I've had some goodies over the past few months and it's always worth a look as they update frequently.

Thanks, I'm starving now for cupcakes and wellington squares. some nice cookery books on there, would take a lot of browsing to find a good book to read I'd say although santa akbar caught my attention:

Did you look at the books in the link in my original post? They go back to normal price after a while (I think perhaps 24 hours) but the list is constantly being updated with free ones.

I know that the links do work, because I managed to download 3 books yesterday

Are there any decent sites out there for getting "discounted" books for the Kobo?

Yep, that's an amazing link indeed. Thank you!

PS: Found this title by going thru that link above. Normally retails for 50 usd, 21 five star reviews, and is now free!!!

Very new to Kindle. Is there an issue downloading books from the .co.uk site?

Oddly enough went to buy it earlier and was pleasently surprised by the price!

Ireland's kindle shop is amazon.com
You could use a UK vpn to use the UK site but I don't know if that's too much trouble for too little?

Free kindle books from pixelsofink.com everyday just have to register your email to get daily update by email. Delivered via amazon.com site, so you need to be registered but that is no problem.

Cheers

Just change your country in your address to the UK. That's what I did and have been using Amazon.co.uk for my Kindle purchases for over a year.

Is it cheaper to buy from the UK site or is there any difference?

Would you get more for your money with the dollar or the pound?

If anything it's probably slightly cheaper in the US store. I prefer the UK store because they have the same titles and covers that you see when you browse a bookshop in town. The US frequently have different titles and covers for books which makes it confusing! I usually decide what I want in the retail bookshop and then download from Amazon. Not very fair on the bookshop I know!

Is that your billing or delivery address? If the former, will the payment still go through when you purchase? Do you need to do anything to the Kindle to find the new account settings? Thanks.

ablelocks · 27-12-2012 10:24pm

Set your billing address as your usual credit card address. Have a valid delivery address for Ireland, uk, and USA. Then when searching or buying kindle books switch between your uk and USA address (go to manage my kindle/change country).

The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy complete set of 5 books is down to £ 2 something now as well.

its been reported elsewhere that they stop you doing this after a few purchases if your credit card is not a UK one (one way around this may be to set up a 2nd account and send yourself gift vouchers).

I bought a kindle in may & set up a uk address with Irish Visa card. No problems so far.

Does this work with the kindle fire hd? Did you just get a valid uk address from someone you know living in the uk?

If you put in an american or english address for delivery address when you put in your visa card details did you put in the proper billing address (the irish one ) or do you put in the the english or american address?
I tried it with a valid american address, set it up on amazon.com and then put in my visa details. i put in the proper (irish billing address) and then i tried the billing address as the valid american one. Neither worked. any ideas??

I've an Irish billing address with a US delivery address (have used a number of different addresses over the years - friends / relations). I've never had an issue with US Kindle purchases - maybe it's because I've purchased and had stuff delivered to those addresses? I also have a UK delivery address, but never had anything delivered to it and I've no problem purchasing from UK kindle store.

Did you enter an irish delivery address as well? If so you may need to set your default delivery address to the US one before you buy.

thanks for reply. i had the american delivery address set up as my default one. i had my proper irish billing address for my irish visa and it didn't work. I will try set up another amazon account with a uk address and my irish credit card. they are valid addresses.
How annoying is it? I want to buy stuff from amazon but i cant because im in ireland. doesn't make any sense.

you shouldn't have to set up another account - just add a UK address to your existing account.

is it a kindle or a kindle fire hd you have? Was it originally purchased from amazon uk or us?
