I have 3 questions
What is the life of the battery in terms of years and can the battery be replaced locally and at what cost
Is Prime Membership available to South Africans living in South Africa
Approx how many books are available to South African kindle owners and what are the price ranges.

I presume you bought the kindle + 3G, how is it different to the DX? Does the latter just have a larger screen ?

Use your USB cable to connect to your PC, and download that way.

Thanks so much for the review – have bought a Kindle and I absolutely love it, however, I’m having trouble downloading books. Why is it that Jeffery Deaver, Deon Meyer, James Patterson etc (all famous authors) are available on the site, but if I log in then they aren’t available to me? I read that it’s about licensing and where I live, but there hardly anything to buy. Am I missing something terribly obvious? Is there a way around it? (I tried switching to the UK store but no luck)

If there no availability to popular authors then I’m afraid I’ve wasted my money and will be hugely disppointed in a gadget I love

Please help?

Thanks!

The charger works perfectly well in South-African plugs provided you buy an adaptor (I use it all the time). It is very easy to charge through the notebook too – I have even used my Blackberry’s charger to charge the Kindle. There is no need to order a European charger – just buy an adaptor.
