Unable to buy book as a Kindle gift

[dmoldfield]

Hello,

I have submitted my book, Out Of Time, for review, but I could not purchase it as a gift because I'm in the UK. I went out of my mind trying to set up a US account to do this, but Amazon sussed me out when I entered my UK card details and wouldn't let me do it.

I'm worried that my book won't be reviewed now. My book will be free on July 20th, July 28th and July 31st if that helps.

Why oh why they won't allow UK users to buy gift books I don't know!

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer. I managed to submit my request without the code, but now I'm worried that it won't be reviewed.

I wish I could help you. Have you tried to contact Scott?

PS: I do not understand the review process but if you have already submitted your book for review then it should be available for download to the reviewer who grabs it first for review. Is it not as simple as it looks?

Hi Raindrop Writer,

I have provided a PDF, so hopefully you're right. I thought they might notice that the Kindle Gift Certificate was missing and reject it. Nothing is ever as simple as it looks!

I'm new to the site and can't find a contact option anywhere!

Thanks so much for your help

Yes! This helps a lot. Don't worry, your book is being reviewed.

For some odd reason, Amazon does not allow UK users to purchase Instant Kindle Gifts. However, for this particular review we were able to use a workaround and the reviewer has already read the book.

Thanks Scott. I really appreciate the excellent assistance I received with getting the book read and reviewed. Amazon UK do like to make things difficult! Thanks again, Donna
