I'm heavily considering buying myself a Kindle since my old Nexus 10 doesn't do e-reading justice.

The new Kindle voyage is unavailable to send to Malta which is where I live.

If I have it delivered to my Uncle in the UK and have it sent over would there be any kind of problems in the future ? Or is it not region-specific ?

I have a Kindle Fire that wont turn on, the screen is blank although it is making sound. I've tried holding the button down to reset but no joy, any ideas?
He wasn't perfect, he made mistakes. But he was genuine. He had the best interests of the club at heart, and gave us a plethora of successful teams that we should have been thankful for.

Can someone help as I'm a bit confused

Got a Kindle for me Birthday and have downloaded a sample of the book Shantaram

It looks like the sample is 40 odd chapters and 932 pages.

The thing is, the actual real book is 932 pages and 40 odd chapters.  Have I got the full book here or will it somehow stop me reading after a while?

Been on Amazon and the full Kindle version is priced at £7.99

I would imagine once you skip on to a certain point it'll refuse to load the rest of the pages.

I have just noticed a little time indicator at the bottom of the page when i bring the Kindle tool bar up while reading. Says I have 49 minutes left.

Mystery Solved :)

Whats the best colour ereader out there at the moment? Am I right in saying Kindle paperwhite, voyager & Oasis only does black & white because of the E-Ink technology?

They're great little tablets,bought me Ma one 2yrs ago,she is on it all the time & it hasn't skipped a beat.

She loves it so much that we've got her the new 10" for Christmas,spent the past week filling the SD card up with books,love how you can just send the files/books to the kindle email and it downloads & files them automatically,it will also convert them as well if need be.

There are some colour e-ink technologies out there, but none have made it into the mainstream ereaders so if you need colour then it will have to be a tablet instead.

Thank you. My misses only uses her tablet for reading but the kids use it  for youtube etc too so it is very useful to be able to do both.
