Hello Andy and everyone I have just got myself a Kindle and I think that on Amazons site, they do explain what to do in the event you are buying the Kindle as a gift. I think they recommend the recipient of the Kindle set up there own account so they can use it through there own individual account so the buyer of the kindle need not get a wapping bill at the end of the month if they are a real book worm. Hope this helps Martin From: Martin Houghton Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 8:06 AM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: The Amazon Kindle Hi Andy and everyone Just to let you and everyone know, I am receiving this message as blank. I have received a few like this lately. Not sure why this is, but I thought that I would let everyone know. All the best Martin From: ANDY COLLINS Sent: Friday, October 08, 2010 11:44 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] The Amazon Kindle If I give the Kindle reader as a gift, how will the recipient go about buying ebooks from the Kindle shop. From what I have read, the Kindle is identified from the buyer's account details with Amazon, surely this doesn't mean I'd have to buy the books on the other person's behalf? Andy
