If you’re living in Spain and would like to buy the Kindle reader you have come to the right place! We have been asked countless times whether it is possible for Spanish residents to order the Kindle online.
The official line is that to order an ebook reader delivered to your Spanish address you will need to order from Amazon.com. That’s fine in theory since their delivery is pretty swift and the charges are very good. However, having experienced the delays possible in the Spanish postal system, and the horrendous duty that can be charged by the Spanish authorities this is a route most would-be Kindle owners are unlikely to follow.
The current unofficial (and far easier) way to get your hands on the reader is to order from Amazon.co.uk and select a UK delivery address. You’ll then of course need a trustworthy friend or family member to forward the shiny new gadget to you Spanish address. This isn’t really what Amazon want you to do, but it works!
Buy a Kindle in Spain
Thankfully this pretty daft situation is about to be changed. A new Spanish bases site “amazon.es” has opened its virtual doors. This is great news for ex-pats since it stocks a useful range of English language books. More importantly for us though, it has been widely reported in the Spanish press that the store will also stock the Kindle reader later in the year. This means you will be allowed to buy a Kindle in Spain easily for the first time.
About time too! Of course it isn’t all the store’s faults. Every country has different publishing rules, and book pricing to contend with. But knowing that we will soon be able to order a Kindle for delivery to Spain easily is great news.
