Changing Your Amazon Country | If you have trouble getting Kindle books from Amazon, change your Amazon country to USA

Post by Scott »

Many Kindle books are not available in some countries.

In some countries (e.g. Nigeria), Amazon tends to block access to all Kindle books.

A workaround for that is to change your Amazon country. You can change your country to USA to access books only available in the USA (or UK to access books only in the UK etc.) .

View the Amazon.com Guide | View the Amazon.co.uk Guide


Typically, if you are in Canada, Australia, or the United Kingdom, then you will not need to and not want to change your Amazon country. Instead, you will want to use the Amazon website for your specific location (e.g. amazon.ca).

In contrast, if you live in a country that doesn't have its own specific version of Amazon, which is most countries, then you will want to use the .com version of Amazon in which case you may also want to change your Amazon account country to USA to make sure it functions fully.

Thanks for the recommendation. I live in South Africa, but my Amazon country on the app is the USA. Sometimes books are indicated as not available. Will definitely try changing my country to the UK and see if that can give me access.

Thank you for this information. I usually just use my sister's account to access but I am so glad that I can just simply change the region. 8) Why have I not thought of this?
