I'm signed up with a Facebook page feed which provides a list with links to Amazon for daily offers - a mix of free, reduced and special deals.
I download some for me and those I think my husband will prefer, can choose to have them sent directly to his Kindle reader when he connects it to the internet.
I just love the fact you can have a huge library at your fingertips, fabulous for holiday reading.

Amazon.com, Amazon UK and Amazon Germany, none will deliver to Cyprus, so will go for another solution. Thanks all.

That's very strange about Amazon.com, I thought that here in Cyprus we had to order from Amazon International, which is Amazon.com. Certainly this is where I got both my Kindles from and they arrived quickly by courier. But I suppose the rules may have changed since then. Have you tried contacting them?
Good luck!

I have looked at the Amazon.com page about Kindles coming to Cyprus..
It seems the ban may be temporary..
" Due to increased demand, we temporarily have reduced product selection available for delivery to your region. We are working to improve selection availability as soon as possible."

Depending on how soon you want it, use RSS or LHUKCY. It will take about a month to get here then.
Regarding getting it to Cyprus, it may be because of the battery. Only certain couriers are allowed to ship them by air.

While you are waiting for whichever tablet you get and if you have a smart phone just download the Kindle App and you can start reading books on your mobile.

Hallo Louise,
Als je Nederlandse boeken wilt downloaden moet je beslist geen Kindle kopen, want dan kun je alleen maar boeken van Amazon downloaden en de Nederlandse boeken niet lezen. Ik heb nu al mijn derde Kobo, echt geweldig. Ik lees al wel 10 jaar via min ereader en als je wilt heb ik veel Nederlandse boeken voor je, die ik via wetransfer aan je kan versturen. Zeg maar als je interesse hebt en welk genre je graag leest. met vriendelijke groeten, Liset
Ik heb je een Private Message gestuurd.

I think that is actually dependent on your browser. It's built into Google Chrome I believe, but not necessarily available in all browsers
