This is my second Kindle. The first Kindle was purchased 6 weeks ago but it broke so Amazon sent me this second Kindle. I live in Canada and I’ve experienced a lot of frustrations with this product:
1. Books are more expensive for Canadians than they are for Americans. They cost US $2 more per book and that includes books that are free for US residents. We can get some free books in Canada but the numbers are very limited.
2. The extended warranty is not available to residents outside the US.
3. The internet browser does not work outside the US so in Canada, we can only use Wikipedia but not Google or do any other web browsing.
4. When my first Kindle broke, Amazon told me to ship it back and they would ship me a new one. They said they would charge for the entire amount again for the 2nd Kindle($259 plus shipping and customs duties came to a total of about $311) but they would refund that amount when they received the broken one. Well, instead, they sent me a gift certificate for $259 and I had to call and talk to them to tell them that, hey, I wasn’t responsible for the lemon (the first Kindle broke due to manufacturing defects) and so please refund me the entire amount. They did but I did not appreciate the hassle and the lack of honesty on their part.
5. You cannot get rid of books that you no longer want on your Kindle. They end up in ARCHIVES but someone else can still view them and read them by downloading again. Amazon should have a trash bin for books you want to delete that you can empty. These books could still show up on your Kindle account that’s on Amazon but not on your device.
I would not recommend the purchase for someone living outside the US.

HDMI cables are built to a certain standard otherwise they are not HDMI cables, simple. They carry digtal information so they either work 100% or they do not. This cable works great and it was inexpensive, recommended.
