This year their situation changed, and they moved into a retirement home, and their available funds were chopped down to 15% of what they used to get, the other 85% going towards their accommodation, food, health care, and all the other costs of a full care facility. Dad paid his credit card bill, and mum got her books. Dad funded her book reading, and she merrily purchased hundreds upon hundreds of books (564 in her Kindle account at the current time). "This content is not available in your country".Īnyway, in 2011 I bought my mother an iPad so that she could use Kindle for iPad, and use the font management of the Kindle Reader so she could read the bigger print. There used to be a way around this restriction, you could send an American Amazon account (or create one), a gift card, buy the book, and 'gift' it to Australians. This is all to do with the international book cartel, and the carving up of the world markets into zones just like with DVD's and more so with BluRay discs, Australia/Oceania is its own market, you buy some DVD here and you can't play it on a non-Zone4 device.Īmazon now 'zonifies' their eBooks, so American versions simply won't work on kindle readers that are 'owned by Australians'. Cherryh is there in full on, but on there is not a mention of that series. For example, the Foriegner series by C.J. Suddenly swathes of books I used to be able to access, were no longer available. Then in 2013, Amazon launched and ALL Australia ebook purchases must go through THAT store. When I first got my iPad in 2010, I got the Kindle app, and was joyous that I could buy books on the Kindle store, and enjoy a 70% cost reduction in my book buying. I've beaten my head against this brick wall and it has defeated me, again.
