You should know however that they ship to Israel but say that unfortunately they cannot sell to the Palestinians. I'm not sure what kind of message that sends but I'm sure you won't approve much of that policy
Why can't they just sell these bloody things in the shops? I don't use credit cards, so that makes it tricky. I think I am just going to delay the kindle yet again. I was looking through the Argos catalogue and they have e book readers, but why can't they just sell a kindle? I don't understand. It could be argued 'miles, why don't you just have a credit card?', but as an Edwardian man, I just couldn't bear to indulge in such frivolous behaviour.

I am now firmly placed in the library, which appears to be the only place with internet access in the town. It's pretty cool actually and is a much funkier place than I remember it. But alas they don't sell jackets here. Nor the Kindle.
