It´s because Kindle is part of Amazon and it´s an American company. I agree that there are lots of sites to download books from, I haven´t bought one yet but have several 1000´s in my library.

Turner, Staniforth in Beighton and Ridgeway Sproat in Sheffield and Cumbria

Thanks to both Uzzie & Tenerife sun.
have a feeling that registering to a UK address will complicate things further as I have no real contacts in the UK now, apart from friends.
Will probably end up going for the Spanish reader, but will let you know Wendy.
Sounds good Uzzie. I like the thought of 1000s of books at my fingertips. Can´t bear being without reading matter & my Spanish isn´t fluent enough to read a book at the speed I would like.

Well.
Got up this morning, having spent the weekend weighing up the pros & cons, all prepared to go & buy the Spanish reader.
Switched on the PC & for about half an hour all was well. Then it began freezing, Just odd pages at first, but in the end I couldn´t even get it to close down......just got the timer going round & round.
Left it for half an hour, came back, still the same. Went into town, did my shopping,came back, but didn´t buy the reader because I thought I might have to fork out for a new PC. & no way could I afford both.
When I got back, guess what??? The bl***y thing was working perfectly.
So now I will have to wait until the next time I go into town.

Spoke to my ex husband on the telephone last night and he said he bought a Kindle (don't know which one) with lots of books on at a car boot sale yesterday. He paid £40.00 I paid about £150.00!

Pleased your computer has revived and lives to see another day.

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL
