		pmjordan on Aug 25, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Amazon: New Kindles Selling at Record Rates Returning the Kindle is probably fine if you're in the US, but for us in Europe it would be an expensive experiment. I doubt I'd get a customs & VAT refund, plus the postage is probably steep, too. I still don't get why they only sell it from amazon.com, not amazon.*. I might be able to eBay it off, assuming it's possible to sever the tie to my amazon account.

Thankfully there's no customs fee when you buy a Kindle from Europe, just VAT. Don't know about other territories.
