So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Links to local amazon sites

Post by Xella »

Hi,

If BOTD is on Amazon, the link is directed to the american amazon site (amazon x com). I am from UK, and Amazon is not allowing me to buy books from the american site. I need to go to UK site (amazon x co x uk) and manually search for the book. Not convenient, especially from smartphone.

Is it possible to do something about it?

P.S. Apologies for trying to post url links here, but this is not for spam but to better describe the issue.

I'm not sure if the links could be added to their pages on bookshelves. @"Scott"?

However, for now, you can reach Amazon UK by clicking the Amazon link from the review. :tiphat:

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Book of the Day involves special price considerations and discounts, so at this time those are only for the Kindle edition on Amazon.com. It's not possible at this time to verify the discounts and listed prices for Book of the Day on all the different versions of Amazon. Those who use different ereaders (e.g. Nook) or different versions of Amazon (e.g. Amazon.co.uk) may not find Book of the Day as useful.

Some other Amazon links around the website do go to a second page that lets one choose which version of Amazon they wish to use from the most commonly used options. I will look into getting this configured for more links instead of having them go directly to the .com version of Amazon.

It is possible to buy Kindle books from Amazon.com even if one used a different version of Amazon for other purchases, namely of physical products requiring shipping.
