Title: Disappointed in the Netherlands
Product review: When I saw that it was now possible to buy a Kindle outside the US, I jumped on it and bought one immediately. The product itself is pretty good, no complaints here, but then I think there are too many restrictions for non-US buyers to make the choice worthwhile.- Kindle books are generally more expensive than printed books, I did not expect that at all.- Magazines are very expensive too, and no pictures. What is a magazine without pictures?- I really wanted to read some new books, from Dan Brown or Zafon for example. But these are unavailable here. I still have to buy a paper edition if I want to stay up-to-date. But the whole point of buying the Kindle is to travel lighter and to save a tree or two.- I wanted to easily read a load of technical e-books I have, in PDF format. The Kindle is not good at displaying them, and you have to go through an awkward conversion process.- Books in Dutch? Magazines in Dutch?Maybe I should have bought a Sony.
