  • Amazon To Charge UK Kindle Users 40 Percent Extra Per Book


    11 October, 2009, by Desire Athow

    Our Comments
    A few things to keep the record straight. The extra charges that Amazon are charging are apparently almost entirely used up by value added taxes and data downloading charges. As for ripping of non US customers, well, Adobe, Microsoft and many, many others have done it in the past.
