You've got to wonder why a Kindle version isn't available worldwide, it just doesn't make sense. ?:|

It's not Amazon, it's the publisher for some reason, who doesn't want it sold in that format to Australia.

That is right but the strange thing is I tried to buy an ebook from a US site, couldn't because of that but managed to buy it from a Canadian site straight up, no changing address's ect.

I wonder though if you can't go through Amazon UK, although they only appear to have that book in foreign language at the moment.

I do not have a Kindle, I have a generic reader.

There was a book I was after that I was unable to buy from Amazon US, and I found it on Amazon UK. However I was unable to buy it through the UK site for some reason. I think it was because my Kindle was registered on the US site.

Well that's a pain.  What about just getting the book onto your computer although unless it's a laptop it would be a pain to sit at the computer to read it.

I think the local lending library sounds good. lol.

you can get it on your pc and then download to the kindle? I thought.

Yes you can do that, as long as it's a file that the Kindle can read. [mobi files I think they are].

There is a free program that can change files into Mobi format, and that is Calibre. It works great at converting your PDF books and files into MOBI format, which is very Kindle-friendly.

I've googled and searched but can't even find any version that I could convert.  The library it is I think.

I haven't been able to download any games to my kindle, due to them always being unavailable or for US customers only

Did anyone get theres straight from the Amazon site? They seem so much cheaper on there
