The Bolt Action deals have already been mentioned in another post, but Amazon.co.uk has a total of 20 WW2 history books for Kindle discounted today.

I haven't checked all 20, but the same books do seem to be discounted on Amazon.com in the US,[edit: or NOT see below] I just haven't found a single page to link to.

No sign of the same reductions on Amazon.ca at the time of writing.

I'm not seeing any deals on Amazon US.

Strange, I'm seeing $3.34 USD for the Bolt Action rulebook, and $1.99 USD for the 2 army books in the deal, similar discounts for the other books.

Maybe Amazon is showing me the discounts because I'm in the UK, even though it won't let me buy books from the US store. I have just looked using another browser, without logging in, and still seeing the reductions.

My apologies I have just accessed Amazon.com via a US based proxy, and I am not seeing the discounts either, in fact I can't find the Bolt Action books in particular at all.

It seems that Amazon.com really does show me different deals to someone based in the US, how frustrating!

Can US or Canadian IP addresses/accounts buy from the UK store? Those are amazing deals, and not just the Bolt Action books (which I would have loved to have on Kindle).

I'm in the U.S. and on Amazon U.S. I see the discounts of $18.00 USD to $19.00 USD for the army books and $28.01 USD for the rule book. That's for paper copies not Kindle.

I'm in the US and shop on Amazon UK. When I went to the site without signing in, it showed the discount. After I signed in, it told me I can't buy it from them and to go to the US site.

I have purchsed from Amazon UK from Canada but only paper copy of books. I can't order any Kindle titles.

The Kindle books seem to be on the Amazon UK site only. Could that be the low price everyone was seeing?

Chortle Fezian06 Jun 2014 8:27 a.m. PST

I bought them from Bangladesh, following the link and logging in. Amazon put my US (made up) address on the order, so that doesn't seem to be an issue. On my Amazon a/c I have UK addresses, US addresses (made up to get a s/w deal once) and Bangladesh addresses.

Perhaps when you add a UK address to your account the deal will show up?

Not sure I want any deal that badly to go the trouble it seems one must go to when they live in the States and want to buy one of the bargains being offered elsewhere … lol.

It will eventually appear in the US Amazon site. "As told in the Great Hall" was one of those other titles that appeared initially in the UK only but you can get it on Amazon US now.

Edit: The e-books and not the deals.

Kindle ebooks are apparently licensed by area/zone similar to the way DVDs are.
