In some countries (e.g. Nigeria), Amazon tends to block access to all Kindle books.

A workaround for that is to change your Amazon country. You can change your country to USA to access books only available in the USA (or UK to access books only in the UK etc.) .

View the Amazon.com Guide | View the Amazon.co.uk Guide


Typically, if you are in Canada, Australia, or the United Kingdom, then you will not need to and not want to change your Amazon country. Instead, you will want to use the Amazon website for your specific location (e.g. amazon.ca).

In contrast, if you live in a country that doesn't have its own specific version of Amazon, which is most countries, then you will want to use the .com version of Amazon in which case you may also want to change your Amazon account country to USA to make sure it functions fully.
Maybe a bit late, but I didn't know I could do that. I live in the UK, and most Kindle gift books are from America. I'll handle it now. Sorry for choosing many Kindle gift books and not being able to download them. Silly me, I should have read about this earlier!

Exactly not been able to process payment vai other platform is the only restraints I've had from making review on this site and I've been a member since 2017 or so...
