Hi, there,
If I remember correctly we bought our Kindles about 2 years ago and because we wanted the books to be in English we HAD to buy the Kindle in the UK so we had them sent to family there. We then registered it with Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com and you can then download directly to your Kindle English books. They have a limited amount of free books and it is well worth checking every 4 weeks or so!
We also downloaded an application for our laptops which makes searching the internet so much easier. If you google 'calibre e-book management' it comes up with the link.
I hope this helps.

Hi I have brought 2 kindle's from Amazon fr, when they arrived I registered them to Amazon uk using brother in laws address and I download both brought books and free books even though I only have a french bank card.
You need to go into your kindle settings on Amazon fr and change the address your kindle is registered to.
Hi,
I bought a Kindle over here in France 18 months ago and have no trouble using Amazon.co.uk for english books (and their "Deal of the Day"). It was delivered here from America (?). I use an english credit card, with our french address, to pay. I have just checked my Kindle account and the only reference to country is in "Your Kindle Account" - "Country Settings" which I have set to "United Kingdom".
It works for me!
GoodLuck.
Hello
If they are written in English that is the language they would be available in. If you search for English books on amazon you will find them in amazon.fr in English.
Happy reading.
I would especially like to mention the Civil Engineering Reference Manual, I used the eighth edition earlier, which is just a wonderful thing. Also recently I prepared a research paper about this and used some of the materials from this book. The second part was helped by the service that I found on PickTheWriter But for more global purposes, this knowledge is not enough. Therefore, I need to study much more and read new publications and books and expand my horizons in general.
