    Thanks, but from reading that thread it still seems to indicate that you need to have your account set to the UK. I went through that whole rigmarole a year or two ago and they switched my account over to the UK version (without telling me thats what they were doing) and then it worked fine through the stick, but I wanted to remain on the Irish version so I swapped back.

    If thats the only way for it to work, I'll just avoid it for now.
    Still find it bizarre that they essentially region-lock their own app on their own device. You'd have thought their app would be region agnostic!

    But appreciate the replies from everyone! :)

    Guys an early one if it hasn’t been posted already.

    Kindle Paperwhite can be got for £79.99 (£80.99 vat adjusted)if ordered through Alexa. A nice saving.

    If you don’t have an Alexa device just download the app on your phone and order though that.

    Are you a Prime member? Also it will show up as £120 in your basket. The deduction should be taken when you go to check out.

    If I try this it defaults to ordering from the US and I can't find the setting. Anyone happen to know how to fix that? Got a UK prime account but no Alexa devices

    I tried with the echo show and there's a discount just before payment. Appears full price through the other screens

    Is there an advantage to being on the Irish version over the UK one preventing you from moving?

    Content-wise there is more on the UK one, but the majority of stuff is now available on the Irish version.
    What put me off sticking with the UK one (when their customer support moved me over) was the way the main page gets inundated with titles that you can only rent or buy. The Irish version only shows you stuff you can actually stream.
    Also, I was afraid that Amazon would eventually boot us off the UK version and then I'd be back to square one as far as the Fire Stick was concerned.

    But sorry for derailing the thread with Fire Stick talk. Back to bargains :)

    How do you set it to Ireland?

    Do you mean the account or the fire stick?
    By default, your account is probably already set to Ireland. Usually a customer service agent has to switch it to a UK account.

    But just wanted to say that, after all the comments people here had made earlier, I plugged the fire stick back in today (first time in ages) and just like that, the Amazon Prime Video app does indeed play fine now on the stick. No more region errors! I'm in shock. The app even updated to the latest version which allows for profiles, which is even more handy.

    Thanks again to those who insisted that it was working and sorry for doubting the claims!

    I just ordered the fire hd tablet. Alexy told me the savings and that it would come to £45, then gave me the option to add to my basket where I can go review the order before finalising on PC or I could tell her to buy it now. I chose the buy it now option and it worked.

    Not some much what bulbs to get, would be more looking at the SmartThings hub which means that you'll be able to use a multitude of different brands. Can then look at getting whatever is cheap at the time

    Same here. I got onto Customer Support who couldn't find the offer but said to screenshot it, order the kindle and they'd refund the difference when it was delivered.

    Downloaded the Alexa app to my phone, trying to order a tablet but is not doing anything?
