I thought The Last Continent was terrible. Just a series of "Australia, amirite?" jokes.

This is the synopsis of basically every book or movie written about Australia.

Oh, and fun trivia: Someone really really hates the Duck Man. In one of the Assassin's guild books, he's got a really high price.

That just means that he would be difficult to kill.

In case anyone didn't know: In the Kindle management settings on amazon.com, under "country settings", you can change your address to 10 Downing Street, order the ebook from amazon.co.uk, then change the address back to your previous address.

Preordering is often the worst thing. The amount of times I've preordered a book only to then stare jealously at it in bookstores while I wait a week or more for it to come in the mail... :sigh:

IME amazon ships pre-orders so that they arrive at your door on release day.

Just to ask the possibly silly question, there isn't any sort of region control that would restrict you from freely using it on an US device?

I really haven't had to learn the first thing about ebooks so far :shobon:

The only restriction is on buying. Once you buy the ebook it doesn't care what your address is.
