I sent a message on this, but it was to Amazon US - of course I hope they answer! I checked and I can't contact AmazonUK, but Amazon has great Kindle support and I hope they will help you. Please let me know how this gets resolved. <br /><br />I could find nothing with a Google and I AM the queen of Google!<br /><br />If anyone else has had a problem, please speak up! : )<br /><br />Thank you for the kind words about my blog. It is not easy and, I have to say, not very remunerative. But, I like doing it and that is what counts! Hardest thing is to find a decent title that is also free in the UK. That is just so hard, sometimes I have to go with some inexpensive, rather than free, UK titles. One ongoing complication is periodically AmazonUK is set so US residents cannot see the prices. That makes extra steps for me. Of course I would love to buy a UK Kindle, but that is not allowed. I am a real Anglophile and would just love to be able to buy books from AmazonUK. I want the best of both worlds!<br /><br />Good luck clearing this problem up, Angie!Marilyn Litthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557633582043608297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043046570040559524.post-29301686494227372222012-09-07T01:54:47.916-05:002012-09-07T01:54:47.916-05:00Hi Marilyn, I'm in the UK.

That convenience is the whole point of subscribing to the blog. <br /><br />It sounds as if you are using a Kindle device.<br /><br />So why would you get a message about using an Android app? <br /><br />Amazon does not promote blogs or pay as much to us, compared to other content they sell, but they are not out to thwart blogs. I am going to work on this. I have some contacts, but get back to me with either the model type of your Kindle or info if you use a smartphone.<br /><br />Thank you for letting me know and I am sorry you are having a problem.

I have to place it in a wish list and then go online with my computer to download it. That removes the value of having the blog on the Kindle. The message I get is: "This mobile site does not currently support the purchase of this item. Purchases can be made on your Android device from the Amazon Appstore app." Is this a limitation they have placed on your site, or is it something I have set wrong? I used to be able to download directly from your blog on the kindle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01457361708121281177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043046570040559524.post-77888964869743670602012-07-20T11:11:33.507-05:002012-07-20T11:11:33.507-05:00I love the Williamson's books.
