I hate borders.

A kindred spirit; it's my hope that in the future people will view the lottery of hunger and life possibilities decided on something as random as birth location with the same barbaric darkness with which we see human sacrifice, slavery and the 'corrective' torture of homosexuals.

You're likely to find many such kindred spirits here ;).

Omnirom. If you change your address to a Canadian Address (google one) it will play.. i think. Just need to change it with same username etc, then you can change it back in a little bit.

Thanking yahoo ! this worked.

googled best Toronto coffee shop, used their address on Amazon.ca, went to Kindle settings, set my country to Canada.  Re-logged in, Euro CC worked fine, and... I got it.

My copy should be on my doorstep when I get home.  Then I just need to figure out how to buy the Kindle edition, get it onto my computer and use it in Calibre (probably won't even have time to get all that done).

Got my e-book delivered on Kindle, and hardback will be here when it's here. Haven't checked where it's at, though got standard shipping.
“No. I am your end. Before your eyes I will put your seed to the knife. I will quarter your carcass and feed it to the dogs. Your bones I will grind to dust and cast to the winds. I will strike down those who speak your name or the name of your fathers, until ‘Yursalka’ becomes as meaningless as infant babble. I will blot you out, hunt down your every trace! The track of your life has come to me,

I have Prime, but shockingly they one-day mailed it.

How did you guys manage to get an electronic copy of The Great Ordeal on the other side of the pond? I live in Europe but changed my address on Amazon so I could buy it on Kindle today, but it still says the Kindle copy won't arrive until September...

I'd be thankful for some advice.

I guess that if you follow the steps I posted on the previous page  ( amazon,  kindle not ip spoofing madness ) you should be good, being from Europe as well.  The step which nearly tripped me was changing kindle settings. Says something like 'I've changed address' swap this to a canada address and everything will be fine.  If you're really stuck pm me... wait for the pm to come through and I'm happy to go through the process with you on Skype.

I always take the dusk jacket off hardcover books. Just don't like the feel of them on my hands.

Same here. And now I like the look of the HC spine and want matching ones for the other five. :/

I've received the hardcover and it looks glorious.

Superb paper quality, great binding and a lovely red and black cover. I also like the dustcover.

The inside has a sort of front page with similar symbols to the Canadian covers of the first 3 books.

A lovely article all round. Would be even better if I could have added TUC to it!

All the Overlook publications have this - though there hasn't been a unique one since TTT. TTT, TJE, WLW, and TGO all share the same Rankine artwork behind the title page.

If you bought the kindle version of the book you can get the audio book for less then $5.

Is that the same piece from the background of the covers?

geoffro, do you know of any other source from which to buy the audiobook?
