Right - I get it Snoops - you obviously went for the 3G version. Bloody good in the UK, utterly useless in Cyprus. You made the right choice and so did I!  ;D

So, how much did they stick you for bastard-import-tax at the make-it-up-as-we-go-along post office?

They do save room and are an easy read once you get used to them. Dunno if the more expensive Wi-Fi version would work in Cyprus tho'. You'd need to check like.
BTW although books are exempt VAT in the UK those you download for Kindle are not. Also Kindle is not available for ALL books. Some authors will not permit their books to be put on it.
