You may want to use a proxy to download books for Kindle for PC.
My account got detected that it's not in the country I set one day after downloading ONE free book from Amazon. 

I changed back to Malaysia. No more books to download.

I tried with another account using Hotspot Shield. I'm not sure if I downloaded too fast or something. Got detected after 7 books.

Maybe I need to modify the address to be the same as the proxy location I use.

Strange. Browser cookie?

I'm still trying to figure out which method would escape detection. By right, proxy "should" work.

wow, you're right. after clearing the cookie, it works

Now I'm wondering if I limit it to 2-3 books a day, will it trigger the detection. Or maybe once a day.

Need to figure the limit out before I start buying books from Amazon.

Maybe need to switch "Kindle for PC" as well. I think there is an unique ID there. So i'm not sure if they detect based on that.

Will test out more and update here too.

great tips in the thread, even though I didn't need them yet

Got my wife a Kindle 3 yesterday... no problems with registration ( I already have an Amazon Account set up 3 months before, used KindlePC a week ago).. set the location in the US with a US address

this device looks like a toy than a real amazing e-book reader

bought the free books, games and used the free kindle PDF/docx convert service without any problems
recommend to convert pdf to azw, much better for reading...

conversion does not work for scanned pages pdf

page turning is quick enough... you have to see the e-ink display in real life to believe it ( Kindle 3 has the best e-ink display out there.... no need to compare to iRiver, Han Lin, Benq (sold at mph), Sony, Nook. What's so amazing is Kindle 3 is cheaper than most of the other devices!!

it's like reading on paper so need some room lighting.... or get those leather covers with lights

4GB (3+GB usable) memory is good enough for books so don't worry about not having external memory card drive.. you're not watching movies here

the device is the best for reading a book from start to finish, not the best for reference books where u jump from page to page (but still can be done)

has text to speech function...it's so awesome when it can read aloud your books 

web surfing is not bad with low graphics sites

love this device.....

still trying to use 3rd party software converter (caliber)... to make it  easier to convert files

now planning to hack the screen saver with my own photos instead of the dead author photos

will get another one for myself ... will try to sell in the forum if I can get extra units

Maybe your unique ID for K4PC (if there is one) got flagged?

Would test it out later tonight on my other PC at home. I'm thinking that maybe we need to enable Hotspot shield during the installation of K4PC as well.

I'm not sure why mine works but for some doesn't... but i did use hotspot shield once just to change my location to the US and download Kindle 4 PC... that was all i did

after that everything worked whenever i log in at any pc at home or work.... I can see/buy books in the kindle store etc..

hope it would last with no problems

yup, I use m'sian credit card without any problems.... actually i've been buying other stuff from amazon too before this

my kindle3 is blocked... using hot spot shield did not help. asked to contact kindle.
managed to buy scrabble and download 5 free books.
the kindle just arrived and this is my first day using.
any advise is appreciated.
thanks.

Thanks and appreciate your answer.  But let me get this right. Does it mean that if i own an Ipad  and use the Kindle for ipad app  i do not need to own a Kindle.
Is my conclusion Correct ?  Or are the ebooks from Kindle easier to read on a Kindle rather than on a Ipad because of their format. If i don't need to buy a Kindle this will save me some good money  which i can splash on other gadgets.

Would appreciate your advise.

Thank you.

Hi All
I have a few questions which i hope i can get some help and find the answers.

1.In my Amazon account, is it mandatory to register a device  for someone to download any ebooks  from the Kindle store.?

2. I notice that in the Kindle Store , the book price is stated and there is a note "  Will be automatically delivered By Wireless " 

What does it mean actually ?  Does it mean that if i purchase this book , it will be downloaded to the device i am using at present  or it would be sent to a virtual dropbox folder so that i can download the book to any device i  have registered in the Kindle store in my account.  If this is the case i can see that registering a device would be mandatory to prevent unregistered devices from accessing the folder and downloading it.

Hope I can clear some some of the above so that i ahve a clearer understanding of the whole process of buying books from the Kindle store before iKindle arrives.

Thanking you in advance.

Cheers
I see from the Kindle store the follo

basically, if i buy an ebook from amazon. i will have a copy on my kindle right? can i copy it into pc and then transfer to my friend's kindle?

i need some clear idea on amazon kindle here.

im using kindle android here. i try to buy a digital book here. i put all the credit card and everything. using MY cc. then the order is in process. but in same time i see the book already in my kindle. is this normal?

this my first time using amazon service

I have signed up with AlwaysVPN and manage to make my book purchases from amazon.
I'm willing to share my AlwaysVPN account with any LYNers as long as you do not abuse it. I have around 4.95Gb of bandwith left.
PM me for more login/password.

Stringfellow's tip on having two accounts worked for me. I managed to buy a book and downloaded it. My only issue is that I received an email from amazon one day later:
Should I be concerned?

Did you guys received similar emails? Can ignore?
