    These are excellent. Can be hacked to within an inch of its life. Very pleasing form factor with a rubberised rear surface.

    Bálls.

    I have been looking for a cheap one for a while now.
    Germany have hem all the time, but won't ship here, and the Kobo is the next cheapest, but not a great price for it's screen size.

    Sainsbury's and Currys are doing these for the same price and both are either out of stock or don't deliver.

    Un-expired..

    .. very tempted to get one for my father, although he ain't great at technology.

    EDIT: Actually.. this might be a no-go as you need to specify a UK billing address.

    and its doesn't consider BT36 4PE (the PM postcode) as valid

    Yeah, tried placing an order.

    It accepted the postcode for me, and I tried setting the Parcel motel address as the billing address. It accepted the order, but got an email 5 minutes later asking me to contact them about credit card problems.

    Pity

    Went through for me with an Irish credit card and the Parcel Motel address. I wouldn't be surprised if I get a cancellation email before shipment though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭wait4me


    I tried again and bingo it went through. Got a confirmation email as well - let's wait and see!

    Edit: 5 minutes later:

    "We apologize, but we are having difficulty processing your order because your credit card issuer won't approve this charge."

    Ah well


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,227 ✭✭✭MuffinsDa


    What billing address did you use? I used my normal address with BT11AA postcode for billing (parcelmotel for shipping) - it doesn't allow to chose a country for billing address for me. It "went through" as in it "received" the order but it may yet come back with the same issue as yours.

    My doing this just crossed with you posting it. I put my (Irish) billing address for my Irish CC in and used BT11AA as my postcode. Keeping those toes crossed now!


  • Posts: 8,874 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yeah I did that and still have no cancellation email.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭alastair_doom




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,227 ✭✭✭MuffinsDa


    am tempted to cancel direct order with nook and order via littlewoods - what do yiz think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,227 ✭✭✭MuffinsDa


    what does your order statuses on Nook say? Mine's say: Order Status: credit card*xx74 - does that mean there's a problem or are they checking the card or what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 521 ✭✭✭Jasper79


    I had same problem before ordering something from Asda Direct with my Credit Card.

    Used my Visa Debit and it went straight through, might be less security on that....

    Anyone managed to register to order on Littlewoods?

    I can't get past the 'Search for your Address' baddie...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 287 ✭✭coley


    The houses on my road don't have numbers - it seems to have the names of all my neighbours houses but not mine :(
    There was an entry with no house name so used that - if its the local postie he'll know where I am ... I hope.

    Got a second email from Nook saying my order is ready to ship. It might be because I used a Visa debit which probably has less security than a credit card.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,937 ✭✭✭bromley52


    Available from Blackwell bookshop in the UK. Again use parcel motel.
    9% cashback available via Quidco.

    Ordered one on littlewoods a couple of hours ago. Still waiting for a confirmation email. Fingers crossed.
