Title: International fees are a ripoff
Product review: We purchased a new Kindle for our daughter, who is living abroad, specifically because of the advertised ability for international users to download content wirelessly. When Amazon ballyhooed the international features of the new Kindle, we immediately purchased one as a gift for her. Instead of a great gift, we unintentionally saddled her with download fees every time she buys a book or wants to read a newspaper. In the fine print, Amazon tells you about all these extra charges, which can amount to hundreds of extra dollars a year for someone living abroad who is an avid reader. So, we wasted our money buying the new global Kindle because she has had to revert to using the cumbersome USB method of downloading. Amazon should make the extra fees crystal clear to potential buyers. Instead, the marketing for this product says no fees for downloading, and then they hide the fees for international users in the fine print. We couldn't be more disappointed with this product.
