Caryl Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 My brother has bought a Kindle but he can't order any books for it as it keeps asking him if he has moved countries. He set it up for NZ and has gone online and put NZ as his country but whenever he tries to do anything it says "Have you moved country?" Until it is set to NZ, he can't do a thing with it apparently. Anyone encountered this and know how to set it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 What is a kindle? Has it got something to do with overseas travel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 It does if you carry it with you on a plane. It is an electronic book. You can download literally (no pun intended) thousands of books onto it to read as you travel. It is lightweight and saves carrying several books on extended journeys. You can make the text as large or small as you like so good for those with vision problems for who book reading has become difficult. The bookmark doesn't fall out of it either!

Li@m Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 every thing i have heard about the "e books" is "they are great but do not buy a kindle if your outside the US". Yeah pretty much, My mum brought one of the sony B/W touch ones and its very easy to use. Have you googled how to reset country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yeah pretty much, My mum brought one of the sony B/W touch ones and its very easy to use. Ooh, useful to hear! I am really keen to get that Sony one. Had a play in the shops and looked at endless stuff online and I think it will do what I want.

Li@m Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Sorry for highjacking thread. Ooh, useful to hear! I am really keen to get that Sony one. Had a play in the shops and looked at endless stuff online and I think it will do what I want. It is also rather easy to setup and connect to the wireless/ use the internet. The only problem is that it does not tell you when you can unplug it after it has synced with the comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 It appears brother accidentally registered 2x so it caused confusion. As soon as they delete 1 account he should be good. :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirt Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 It's not as good, all most like having a full sized book in your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I am wanting one for is to read the squillions of classic novels etc that are out of copyright. I love old books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
