A gift card on a cell phone is one way of getting around that. You still have to be able to down load the application. From what I have read, the application is only available in the US.

I have no idea how they can block an application from being downloaded outside of the US.

I have no idea either, but they have. My friend in Germany told me that she couldn't download the app. So no luck there.

Apparently they are releasing the Sony ereader in Europe on March 11th. When will they get an international Kindle on the market? My friends are so eager to get one but my German friend might cave for the Sony. I'm telling her to hold out.

I just realize that with iPhone, iTouch, Amazon need to increase the number of device we can share books. 6 won't be enough.

You can have more then six devices on your account. You can only share a book on six devices at any one time.

So.. just deregister and register again for some device when you want to have a book?

Delete the book after you finish reading it.

I had issues with my iPhone app working a few pages back.  Wanted to give an update.  Yesterday, I hooked up my iPhone to my computer with the expectation that I would do a hard reset after a backup of the iPhone.  Once backed up, PRIOR to hard reset, I tried to again, log into amazon account via app.  It worked!!!  Yippee!  I am now a 2 device reader!

Oh... now I understand how this works. You can register more then 6 but Amazon keeps the track of which device a book is on so a book can only be on 6 devices at a time. If one device delete that book, the 7th device can get that book.

Thanks, ProfCrash.  Wink

It doesn't work like that apparently. Once you've downloaded a book to a device you have a license for that device. The only way to remove the license is to have Amazon Customer Service go in and manually do it. I have more than 60 books I need to do this for. <sigh>

Wow that sucks. I wonder why they don't make it so that the license is deleted when the book is deleted?

I'm hoping that this changes after they have to manually do it several times. For the time being though, that's what has to be done. I can't even just email the list, I have to call them with it Sad.. I'm not in that big of a hurry to have them on my ipod, so I probably won't be doing it any time soon. Maybe in the meantime, they'll come up with a fix.

Because the idea is, you can share a book 6 times. If you could keep deleting the license, then you could, theoretically, share a book endlessly. That is what they are trying to prevent.

Would they let you repurchase it to go on more than 6 devices?

And I think your situation is different from "normal" or what they envisioned in that some of the licenses are tied up with devices that you no longer have (defective Kindles that you have returned). I can see how it would have been hard to predict this type of circumstance and plan for it. Unfortunately, it makes it hard for you to have to come up with the list, convey it verbally, etc.

I don't know. That's a good question. Every book I have bought, I see the notice at the top of the page with the date I bought it. I've never tried to repurchase a book because I've never gone over the 6 shares.

I don't see it happening for me in the near future, but I have two sons, a wife, and am getting an itouch, with perhaps a backup KK soon, so I could be approaching that limit.

This used to be true for downloaded Unbox (now Video on Demand) videos. Once you downloaded, the license was forever used, even if the file was deleted, until you begged Customer Service. They did eventually fix this so that deleting the video from a PC freed up the license, so there may be hope for Kindle licenses too.

I am waiting to see what other PDAs they put out applications for. When my Verizon contract ends, I might go ahead and get a Blackberry Storm if it has the application available.

I could see that with changing cell phones and upgrading Kindles, you could no longer have your books available after a couple years.
