Managed to get wi Fi in cafe and downloaded all my missing books! Looks like it is the rubbish Internet signal in our apartment that has been the problem!

My Kindle is working perfectly, I've just downloaded 3 books from Amazon UK. My credit card is a Qatari one.

My last download went to "cloud" and not kindle, so I had to put a kindle app on my laptop to download from "cloud" to the new app. I thought it was because I had mixed up my amazon accounts (long story) after the christmas shopping spree. Check in your amazon account, see if delivery option is still available to your kindle. Maybe this "cloud" is a new default that has been introduced, and the delivery defaults need resetting (still mean to try this myself if I ever get the time).

My kindle account is set to US even though I use a Qatari-based credit card, and I download books here all the time. You might need to go into your amazon account from a computer an make sure under "manage my kindle" that you have the country set to UK (it's been known to switch automatically when I open it in different countries). If you can do this, you should at least be able to purchase books to your computer and then drag them to the Kindle documents folder when you connect the kindle to the computer via USB.

I'm worried that they will figure out I'm in qatar and I'll no longer be able to get books delivered to my kindle. I have been in a long-running exchange with their customer services for almost a fortnight now trying to place an order and they are fast going WAY down in my estimations.

After numerous emails back and forth to amazon......their answer was that they are unable to send digital content to Qatar..........it does appear however that they can send it to kindle apps but not to actual kindle should be grateful for something annoying that I bought my kindle to read in the sun now can't download books whilst I am here.......will need to rely on stocking up when back in the Uk.

A friend of mine has been having the same problem - apparently they discovered she is living in Qatar, and she could only download approved books (in other words, none). She ended up closing her account, and getting her hubby to open an account in their home country, using the home country credit card.... She's very miffed with Amazon! Can't survive without a kindle here...

Maybe try to turn off the wi-fi and use the 3G (if your version has it) to download?

Since arriving in Doha I have been unable to deliver books to my kindle. I can purchase ok, and books will deliver to my iPad but not to my actual kindle! I am connected to wifi with my kindle, but purchases say pending on my manage my kindle. I am going to be travelling back and forth between uk and Qatar. Whilst I can transfer them ok when I am in the uk, it is annoying if I a buy a book I want to read there and then when in Qatar, I don't seem able to do this. My amazon account is for uk and country setting is uk Any help in this matter would be appreciated I have emailed amazon but no answer yet!
