I am utterly, completely, and totally in love with my Kindle! As an avid reader, I was skeptical about switching from physical books, but this device has revolutionized my reading experience.

### ****- "Buying books"
I have been using Kindle for years and loved that I could easily buy books and read them without having to leave home. Suddenly this has changed and I am no longer able to buy any books. The message I get is that it is outside of my region or country. This is very disappointing to me and my family who read all our books on Kindle. Please advise on how we can rectify this. We live in South Africa, although I often travel and used to be able to buys books from anywhere.
-- MacAnu, 2024-08-20
