Hello hello! I am thinking of purchasing a Kindle Touch here in the US but I am concerned about book purchases when I (eventually will have to) return to Malaysia. I have heard about there being absolutely zero books for purchase when you're trying to buy books from Amazon.com using a Malaysian address and Malaysian credit card. How true is this scenario now? I was informed by the Amazon Customer Service rep that I could have the Malaysian credit card set up but what use would it be if there's nothing to purchase? Please help me in confirming or alleviating my fear...

Yes we can buy Amazon products via the entire Kindle however, it's cumbersome. Greater in order to purchase it found on the web site and also include it forced to be able to the Kindle. Either technique though the two will know out unless of course your needs religiously utilize VPN 24/7. My account ended up being frozen at you point plus they asked for verification that I was actually an US "resident" by scanning a copy of an utility bill or perhaps drivers' license. I did the actual latter and was unfrozen and additionally never questioned once again.

And so should you however currently have certain current You identification then you are okay, merely tell them you're travelling or something. Otherwise you may eventually attain blocked/banned by Amazon for accessing information from out of doors the US.

Maybe they have a tighter verification now, but for me it was fine buying books all these while in Malaysia

Hi, everyone. I got something would like to share with u, currently I`m using Kindle Touch.

But after I download the number 6 of free books, my account is block with saying: I attempted to purchase the book from a country other than stated in my account. So, I try the method as provide here:

2. Using Safari browser go to amazon.com & login my amazon account.
3. Re update country setting, actually it is just select back the previous Us Address.
4. Off the 1-click setting, then on back the 1-click setting.
5. Try to purchase a free ebook from amazon.com using safari browser.

Kindle Cover

There are various different devices over at Amazon that can help with this. There are clip on lights like those little book reading light clips that you can buy for a couple of dollars. However, because they have the name 'Kindle reading light' in the name, they shoot up to around $20.

There are also cases which permit the addition of a light. These cases are fairly cheap to begin with, but once you add that extra light (which is usually sold separately) it can add up. Also, batteries in a light are something that you will also need to deal with, replacing them when they die etc. Most reading lights will probably last around 20 hours of illumination, so depending on how often you read in the dark, this could range from one week, to a couple of months.

Once case that solves this is the official Kindle Lighted cover which includes a light in the case that hooks into the battery. It solves the issue of replacing batteries, as only the Kindle itself needs to be charged. more information about kindle cover review you can visit : Kindle Cover

Spammy...

i wanna ask, can i buy books using malaysia credit card for amazon books? specifically to use it on amazon kindle for android..

Just got a kindle touch and it seems to update itself 4 times and i was wondering if it's an issue?

Hi, I have read thru the posts here.
I would like to know if i already have a amazon account but i have two shipping addresses listed. e.g. malaysia one for normal hard cover books and the other is my borderlinx address. I have purchased things other than books and shipped to my Borderlinx account before. My question is, can I still use this same amazon account to purchase kindle or should i be registering another account with amazon. My email registered with Amazon.com is a .com address e.g. hotmail.com email address.
Please advise. I am very keen to buy but I would like to make sure i can get it work once i receive it here in Malaysia. thank you in Advance for your help.

Use a new 2nd account for kindle and use VPN during purchase.

thank You, TehWateva! appreciate the reply.

Just a question, did you all really buy books from amazon or upload books from your PC to kindle?

I only buy the $0.00 books .

I have been following the steps in the first post to purchase my first e-book for my Kindle. However, I received an e-mail from Amazon stating that the home country registered to my Kindle does not match the country of my residence. They also mentioned that they would restrict the home country settings should I continue purchasing US titles if I do not complete the verification process. What should I do in this case? I want to be able to continue buying e-books from Amazon

i didn't follow the 1st post steps. i registered my kindle and added my credit card in the same account - and added a US address. i've been buying books without a problem. in fact i just set up another kindle for my cousin the same way.

if you are afraid they will restrict your home country settings in your current account, you can deregister your current account from your kindle, and set it up with a new account. make sure the new account has a US address.

hope this works. enjoy your kindle

Ignore the email and don't reply to them. Treat as you never saw the email. Go low profile for a while without buying books.

Amazon randomly check you by your IP address. Buy a e-voucher and send to yourself, load it, erase any info of you staying outside US and buy using a US VPN.

Wow you did it the direct way! I am afraid they would check that my card details do not match my personal details on the Amazon account. They did not trace your IP address when you did your purchases?


Does getting free books on Amazon consider as buying books? If I were to ignore the e-mail, will they suspend my existing Amazon account used for my Kindle?

i've been using my card on amazon for kindle since 2011. so far so good. bought 4 books last month

May I ask what kind of credit card did you use for your purchases? Also, what is the billing address that you included in your Amazon account? Did you buy books directly from your Kindle, or from your computer?
